In conjunction with Van’s 50th Anniversary, Art:tech customized 2 skate decks that come in a set called ‘Codex LXVI’. The wooden skate decks were inscribed with gold and black paint. The sacred tablet of the Codex LXVI serves as recorded moments in the history of Vans, told through iconography, symbolism, ciphers and binary.
If you have no idea who Art:tech is, he is a self-taught artist, illustrator, designer, motion graphic designer and drummer from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He’s also the founder of Eightyfourcube collective. Quite the philosopher, these days he likes to retreat into the recesses of his mind to contemplate how the world works, questioning physical reality and understanding existence, all the while addressing these thoughts through his craft.
The aesthetic of cultures and religions, humanity’s advancement in technology and science and the futurist movement strongly influence his artwork. Art:tech prefers his art to be experienced like dreams; you understand it in your own terms. When he’s not making artworks he will either be in the studio playing drums or working on motion graphic projection mapping projects for international clients.
