MRK (Markos Kay) is a visual artist, creative director, illustrator and lecturer based in London, best known for his artificial life video art experiment "aDiatomea" (2007), a permanent exhibit at the Phyletic Museum in Jena, Germany. His 3D generative short "The Flow" (2011) has been shown internationally as part of "Resonance" a collaboration of over 30 independent visual artists and sound designers. MRK's films have been exhibited worldwide, including OFFF Barcelona, Pause Fest Melbourne, Onedotzero London, Stroke Artfair Berlin and Viedram Rome. == Biography == MRK graduated with a Master of Arts in Communication Design from Central St. Martins in 2007 and is currently working as a creative director, motion designer and lecturer.〔() "Jotta:Markos Kay"〕 In 2008, MRK released “aDiatomea,” an experimental piece that simulates diatoms consisting of realistic 3d generated diatoms.〔() "Algorithmic Worlds"〕 Each variant of these mathematical creatures is classified in actual taxonomies, giving Victorian diatom art a 21st-century redux.〔() "Okological: aDiatomea"〕 Granular sound is 'injected' into the diatoms affecting their form and movement, creating a dynamic system.〔() "Dataisnature"〕 In 2012, "aDiatomea" was part of the official selection at Imagine Science Films in New York.〔() "Imagine Science Films"〕 In 2011, he took part in "Resonance," an international collaboration of over 30 independent visual artists and sound designers, with the short film "The Flow." Resonance premiered at the OFFF 2011 festival, and went on to become an international success.〔() "Motionographer: Resonance"〕 The Flow deals with the idea of emergence and supervenience in the quantum and physical worlds.〔() "The Flow"〕 In 2012, a segment of "The Flow" was featured in Breaking Bad season 5, episode 3. This coincided with the release of an annotated and extended version of the film.〔()"The Flow (annotated)〕 "The Flow" composers Echoic Audio won Best Sound Design at the Van d'Or Awards 2012.〔()"The Van D'Or Award Winners 2012"〕 During 2012, in collaboration with seeper, he directed large scale projection mapping events including the launch of Titanic Belfast, Birmingham's Wings of Desire and the Vimeo Awards 2012.〔() "Wings of Desire"〕 Other commercial endeavours included work for the likes of Warner Bros., MTV, Nickelodeon and Channel 4.〔() "PauseFest: MRK-UK"〕 He also collaborated in the direction of the main titles for Dutch digital arts festival Playgrounds, which premiered in Amsterdam in November 2012.〔()"Playgrounds Digital Arts Fest 2012"〕 Later on that year he took part in another international collaboration "The Powers Project," a visual re-imagining of the Eames classic Powers of Ten.〔(Powers Project )〕 His segment was the first to be released as part of the promotion of the film.〔(Visually Recreating Powers Of Ten's Exploration Of Universes Tiny And Massive )〕 MRK's work fuses science with visual art.〔() "Stash Magazine: MRK〕 He deals with themes of emergence, evolution and complexity, as well as artificial life and generative art processes.〔() "Jotta: Markos Kay〕 He is inspired by biological forms and processes, life and natural cycles, and deconstruction is a major influence.〔() "Wings of Desire〕 Other areas of interest include: molecular biology, digital physics, information theory and complexity science.〔() "Groopti: MRK's The Flow"〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MRK」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
