About The Artwork

Meridian This abstracted form bestows a sense of space being either a terrain or a sculpted surface, time is also implied with this piece of art. Here we see light projected onto an undulating surface where shadows are cast. This light source references Midday on Summer Solstice. The addition of Midsummers day and noon makes the sun in highest position in the sky for the year,this is why its called Meridian. In a sense it can be a snap shot of time much like a sundial. This is a special date and time worshipped by many cultures around the world as it describes the peak of summer and the life journey of the sun. This minimalist work can be appreciate aesthetically and conceptually where the play of light has been expressed in contrast to bold blue shadows, warm tints lit by an artificial sun. The conceptual aspect has been covered by the reference to time as explained above. This art work has been conceived exclusively in a virtual realm and has been made to look like it has come from this space. With its facets and wave undulations been created by computer generated noise algorithms. The object alludes to different scales from water ripples to mountain ranges. Rhythm, repetition and variation are key themes within this work.

WHO WE ARE Mark and Paul Cummings intention is to create phenomenological experiences, with an interest for the occult, mysticism, technology and zeitgeist. With a specific focus in Hermetic wisdom and Druidic practices the subject of transcendence is critical to their work and its relationship to contemporary culture. They produce artworks namely sculptures and audio-visual performances too – being multidisciplinary they utilise any medium that suits the project best. HERE AND NOW The Cummings twins still have technology as their mainstay but with maturity their work has flourished with a sense of spirit behind everything they do. Their current projects include ‘Polygondaydream’ that involves the creation of sculptures and also ‘The Mystery School of Sound’ that is a performance music piece relating to Hermeticism and the healing arts. LEGEND AND LEGACY In 2006 after leaving university studying fine arts Mark and Paul Cummings headed straight for the heart of London settling a stone’s throw away from the Square Mile. They began a project that ran for about three years. Based in the epicenter of the city and immersed themselves in technology and urban culture. This was 10 years before digital Shoreditch and at the infancy of commercialized Internet; before this it was dominated by programmer geeks and not many artists had yet entered this realm.This was before the noise of the Internet grew and they had a lot of exposure and quickly became renowned for making very intense videos and digital artworks. Photography, video, music, animation and programming were the main tools for the production of shorts, interactive pieces and installations. They soon became a household name within the digital art scene at the time. They were known as digital Punks working under the pseudonym of AZ2Lab. Their work was showcased around the world in events and exhibitions such as Japan, South Korea, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland and the UK to name a few and they were also very widely published. This brought attention from the commercial world and they began producing work for Diesel, Nike, Deutsche Telecom and many other international brands. All that was good came to an abrupt end - as they decided to leave advertising and push into the art world. While still maintaining their digital heritage the twins started painting in earnest back to what they felt was traditional.
