Carlo Cadenas' inspiration for "Cogeretur" stemmed from the ongoing global conversations about climate change, nature preservation, and human impact on the environment. The project, whose name is derived from the Latin word for "imposed," criticizes this relationship as forced, giving it a personality to enter the art world and instigate change.
"Cogeretur" stands out for its unique approach to digital art. The project was created using 3D computer graphics software, resulting in twelve pieces of art that visually explore the concept. The six still artworks and six motion artworks are designed to present a progressive action linked to the evolution of the concept, offering viewers a unique experience when viewed in sequence.
The project was initiated in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in September 2016 and completed two months later. Despite the challenges, including maintaining a consistent voice throughout the process and transitioning from a book idea to a 3D art project, Cadenas successfully brought "Cogeretur" to life. The project's evolution and the relationship between the artworks contribute to the overall conversation the project aims to provoke.
Carlo Cadenas' "Cogeretur" is more than just a digital art project; it's a visual critique of the human-environment relationship. By exploring this complex relationship through art, Cadenas hopes to add value to the ongoing discussions about environmental issues and inspire change. As the project continues to garner recognition, including the prestigious Silver A' Design Award, it's clear that "Cogeretur" is making a significant impact in the art and design world.
As we continue to grapple with environmental issues, projects like "Cogeretur" remind us of the power of art in sparking conversations and inspiring change. Through its unique blend of art and design, "Cogeretur" offers a fresh perspective on a pressing issue, demonstrating the potential of digital art to engage audiences in meaningful discussions.
