PAX Artist Series

Pax 's Artist Series is an ongoing collaboration with renowned international artists tasked with designing device engravings based on different emotions and experiences.

For this installation we challenged optical artists DOT (Daniel Shoykhet) and Gio (Giorgi Macharashvili) to create pieces inspired by relaxation – something most people use their PAX devices for – launching just in time for National Relaxation Day.

This limited edition collection includes three specially engraved PAX Plus devices – Flow, Expand and Vibe. Each mesmerizing piece is designed to help you immerse yourself, find your inner peace and achieve a relaxed state of being.

About the artists

DOT (Daniel Shoykhet) is an American-born, self-taught artist who grew up in New York and Chicago. His work is rooted in abstract expressionism and the 20th century optical art movement, using repeating geometric patterns enhanced by various color theories to create hallucinatory visual fields that challenge the viewer's perception.

Gio (Giorgi Macharashvili) is a communication designer from Georgia who brings a rich mix of cultural influences from his experiences in Europe and Mexico. In his design studio TONA, he and his partner are inspired by culture, art, history and the world around them.

Expand

"The inspiration for this design actually came from a painting I did earlier this year. I wanted to achieve a spherical illusion using only straight lines, more specifically parallelograms. Optical illusions fascinate me because they remove a layer of reality for a moment."

"This artwork is inspired by the formation of smoke - a tribute to the earliest cannabis cultures of the Far Eastern world. Given the uncertainty about the exact origins of these cultures, the abstract representation of smoke recalls the ephemeral and elusive nature of these rituals. The graphic representation of swirling or asymmetrical lines and kaleidoscopic spirals underscores the constant transformation of cultural identities."
