XK Studio's '0% food' Animates Virtual Cuisine for Androids
Alexa Sirbu and Lukas Vojir have founded XK Studio in London, a communication agency specializing in graphic design and 3D animation. The duo, who have worked together unofficially for two years, collaborate with multinational companies and local entities to promote commercial products and artistic projects. Their work is characterized by high-resolution imagery and a perfect digital aesthetic that suggests serene, harmonious worlds blending nature and advanced technology. Their video '0% food' explores whether androids need virtual food, drawing inspiration from Philip K. Dick's 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' (1968) and Ridley Scott's 1982 film 'Blade Runner'.
