Concept Artist Job at Ark, United States

Job Description

△Ark is looking for an artist to design (and potentially build) three sculptures for  Novascene , an experimental Unreal Engine audiovisual performance project.

 

The world:

Humans live inside a massive artificial superintelligence the way gut bacteria live inside us. The work spans 50,000 years and follows cyberized human consciousnesses navigating this relationship.

 

The sculptures:

Three monumental statues, each the centerpiece of a different village. The figures are chimeras—animals with technological elements doing human things. They're an allegory: humans in this world are uplifting animals into technological beings, which mirrors what the artificial superintelligences are doing to us.

These are a big part of the project. They need to be detailed, symbolic, and interesting—each one should tell a story in sculptural form. They can't be literal or obvious.

 

References:

Think Bernini x Neon Genesis Evangelion. We're looking for that level of craft and strangeness—not cool sci-fi creatures, but figures that hold weight the way devotional sculpture does.

 

What we need:

If you're a concept artist—drawings, paintings, or maquettes that nail the vision. A separate artist would handle 3D execution. If you can do both concept and 3D, even better.

 

About us:

△Ark is a studio working at the intersection of game engines, motion capture, experimental music, and speculative fiction. We're based at Gray Area Foundation for the Arts in San Francisco.

 

You might be right for this if:

  • You have experience with religious, mythological, or symbolic imagery
  • You can design figures that hold complexity without being illustrative
  • Your portfolio has work that's strange, detailed, and not generic sci-fi/fantasy

 

Rate:  $50/hr

 

To apply:

Send an email with your portfolio and a short note.
