2.​ ​Tell​ ​us​ ​about​ ​your​ ​aesthetic.

We​ ​try​ ​not​ ​to​ ​have​ ​a​ ​set​ ​aesthetic​ ​style​ ​as​ ​we​ ​truly​ ​believe​ ​that​ ​every​ ​project​ ​is​ ​different and​ ​should​ ​be​ ​treated​ ​as​ ​such.​ ​The​ ​concept​ ​and​ ​context​ ​will​ ​dictate​ ​the​ ​style​ ​each​ ​time, not​ ​the​ ​other​ ​way​ ​around.

Intentamos​ ​nos​ ​tener​ ​un​ ​estilo​ ​ni​ ​estética​ ​definidos​ ​ya​ ​que​ ​consideramos​ ​que​ ​cada proyecto​ ​es​ ​diferente.​ ​El​ ​concepto​ ​y​ ​contexto​ ​definen​ ​el​ ​estilo​ ​de​ ​cada​ ​proyecto.

3.​ ​What​ ​is​ ​your​ ​favourite​ ​medium​ ​and​ ​why?

We​ ​tend​ ​to​ ​lend​ ​towards​ ​motion,​ ​interactive​ ​and​ ​graphic​ ​design.

Nos​ ​inclinamos​ ​hacia​ ​el​ ​motion,​ ​diseño​ ​interactivo​ ​y​ ​gráfico.

4.​ ​What​ ​is​ ​your​ ​artistic​ ​process​ ​like?

As​ ​the​ ​creative​ ​process​ ​is​ ​something​ ​in​ ​constant​ ​fluctuation​ ​and​ ​redefinition,​ ​it's​ ​quite hard​ ​to​ ​define​ ​it.​ ​That​ ​said,​ ​research​ ​and​ ​experimentation​ ​are​ ​always​ ​present.

Al​ ​ser​ ​el​ ​proceso​ ​creativo​ ​algo​ ​en​ ​constante​ ​cambio​ ​y​ ​redefinición,​ ​es​ ​algo​ ​difícil​ ​intentar definirlo.​ ​Dicho​ ​esto,​ ​la​ ​investigación​ ​y​ ​experimentación​ ​están​ ​siempre​ ​presentes.

5.​ ​Who​ ​and/or​ ​what​ ​inspires​ ​your​ ​work?

Countless​ ​sources​ ​of​ ​inspiration​ ​constantly​ ​pop​ ​up​ ​left,​ ​right​ ​and​ ​centre.

6.​ ​What​ ​role​ ​does​ ​art​ ​play​ ​in​ ​your​ ​life?​ ​How​ ​does​ ​it​ ​change​ ​the​ ​way​ ​you​ ​view​ ​the​ ​world?

Art​ ​tends​ ​to​ ​be​ ​a​ ​reflection​ ​of​ ​a​ ​community's​ ​pulse​ ​and​ ​what​ ​throbs​ ​underneath​ ​it.​ ​It frequently​ ​plays​ ​the​ ​role​ ​of​ ​its​ ​counter​ ​status-quo.​ ​Therefore​ ​it​ ​provides​ ​ongoing feedback​ ​of​ ​what's​ ​around​ ​us.

El​ ​arte​ ​tiende​ ​a​ ​ser​ ​el​ ​reflejo​ ​del​ ​pulso​ ​de​ ​una​ ​comunidad​ ​y​ ​lo​ ​que​ ​bajo​ ​él​ ​subyace.​ ​Con frecuencia​ ​juega​ ​el​ ​rol​ ​de​ ​confrontar​ ​su​ ​status-quo.​ ​Por​ ​lo​ ​tanto​ ​nos​ ​retroalimenta continuamente​ ​con​ ​respecto​ ​a​ ​lo​ ​que​ ​nos​ ​rodea.

7.​ ​Where​ ​did​ ​you​ ​study?

David:​ ​College​ ​of​ ​Fine​ ​Arts​ ​(COFA-UNSW)​ ​&​ ​School​ ​of​ ​Visual​ ​Arts​ ​(SVA)​ ​in​ ​Sydney, Australia. Marcus:​ ​KvB​ ​and​ ​UTS​ ​in​ ​Sydney,​ ​Australia.​ ​Lund​ ​University​ ​in​ ​Sweden.
