Stan Adard is a visionary in digital flow art and the pioneer of The Breathing Pictures. His innovative approach to digital art brings life to static images, creating visuals that seemingly breathe.
Born in 1954 in Switzerland, Stan holds a master's degree in Education and Social Psychology. His passion lies in exploring the intricate relationship between humans and technology, which he expresses through various digital mediums.
The Breathing Pictures introduced a unique form of video art - breathing-length sequences that are looped and framed, creating a mesmerizing visual experience. Building on this concept, Stan produced various experimental short films that gained international acclaim. "Time(s) To Breathe" (2018) and "Breathing Through" (2020) are two award winning films.
Stan's work continues to evolve, blending cutting-edge technology with a deep understanding of human perception and psychology. His art invites viewers to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the power of their own breath in our increasingly fast-paced world.
Stan's latest work focuses on the profound importance of breathing.
While breathing is typically an unconscious process, Stan's art encourages viewers to take conscious control, a skill increasingly vital in our complex world.
Utilizing advanced digital construction and animation techniques, Stan creates mesmerizing, gently animated pictures.
These works guide viewers towards a state of relaxation and deeper, more mindful breathing.
The Breathing Pictures, driven by algorithms that mimic human breathing patterns, offer a serene counterpoint to the frenetic visual world surrounding us. They serve as a digital oasis, inviting moments of calm and introspection in our fast-paced lives.
