Beeple - The Everyday Man

Mike Winklemann is a digital and film artist who is self-taught. His work is recognized

on the network under the name Beeple Crap. He does a range of multimedia artwork, including short films, VJ loops for Creative Commons, daily work, and VR / AR work. He collaborated on concert visuals for Justin Bieber, One Direction, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Eminem, Zedd, Deadmau5, and several more after he started publishing a compilation of commonly used Creative Commons VJ loops. He has been making an image regularly from start to finish and publishes it online for over ten years without skipping a single day, one of the originators of the new "everyday" revolution in 3D graphics. He is now working as a freelance artist who designs motion graphics and animations for concerts. Over the past 15 years, Winklemann has been focusing on video loops and films, while for the past 13 years he has been focusing on his "Everyday."

Mike Winkleman's work, multimedia sketches, and animations, all involve a science fiction mixture. In his pictures, he creates environments that look massive, using the illusion of space in a digital world. In 2015, he made a short film named Zero-Day. Every scene in Zero-Day, originally made using an offline renderer, comprises a combination of glossy and diffuse materials and is illThe first real-time path tracing of scenes from this short film was demonstrated in August 2019 by NVIDIA researchers. According to Aesthetics of Interaction in Digital Art, “When space is simulated by means of digital media, this simulation is not restricted to creating the visual illusion of space behind the picture plane or of interpreting an image as a window". He uses the technology given to him in the 21st century to create worlds and detailed graphics that were once impossible to create at the speed at which he does. Renderings of Digital Art by Christine Paul says “In the 21st century, the term new media is mostly used for digital art and its various forms”

Artwork something that can denote emotion is very powerful to the eye of the beholder. The image I’ve chosen from Beeple's work entitled amazon mobile site 2091, is a piece, which to me, shows a couple of things. The artist is showing an evolution of technology but not in the way that many people would assume technology will go. This particular piece shows, to me, that there can be a downfall of major companies, and the things we may get used to now; may not be there in the future.

In order to get a sense of scale for massive designs, to connect with the 3D elements, or just to populate a futuristic environment, neon forms, sci-fi elements, Beeple typically likes to place the character in his artworks and usually uses noise and filters to create a special atmosphere in post-production. Some pictures show robotics and an apparent police hierarchy of authority or a controlling body mixed with mass-dominating technologies. In dealing with the future of technology, his sci-fi inspired art is important to his overarching ideas about surveillance and privacy in his images. His thesis may be viewed as an institutionalized criticism of society's future at the pace at which we use technology while making art with his own technology. In his work, privacy, technology, and surveillance themes are prominent. To build future environments that demonstrate the possibilities of the abuse of technology, he used robots, figures, and computers. His works give audiences an insight into a world dominated by isolation and post-apocalyptic life.
