Roland Schimmel

"Over the last two decades, Dutch artist Roland Schimmel has produced a compelling oeuvre of abstract paintings to which digital animations have been added more recently (these films are “illustrated” by music of composer David Lopato). What the works have in common is the exploration of sensorial frontiers. the paintings and animations depict optical structures or fields, in which the soft contours of shimmering haloes and hard edges of black holes pop up and meet. Observing the encounter of these contrasting forms evokes physical sensations of expansion and contraction reminiscent of op art’s push and pull effects." - Minus Space. See more;

noirlac

Beautiful pixel based works made by noirlac who has hundreds of pieces created digitaly painting through different pixel patterns. I selected some darkscapes but recommend to check out all the work at http://noirlac.tumblr.com/ to see more landscapes, sunsets cityscapes.. It's interesting also the light effect in some pieces which works only through 2 frames GIF animation.

Don Slepian

Don Slepian made Sunflower Geranium in 1983 a video compilation of live performances showing different visual effects created through a custom array of specialized hardware and software to mix synthesized video imagery and original electronic music for a live audience. One of my favorite parts of Sunflower Geranium is at the end where there are several short animations working through pixel based geometric shapes, Slepian explains to Rhizome how he produced them; "is the output of one of my original CEEMAC scores in which I attempt to create texture and dimension using diffraction patterns and chroma shifting. In Apple II "Hi-Res" mode I was working with a 280px by 192px screen, 57 thousand pixels in all. A far cry from the 2.0736 million pixels we take for granted in standard 1080p video frames." 

Into the post you can see these short animations as animated GIFs but I highly recommend to watch the whole piece and read an interesting interview with Don Slepian about the process of at Rhizome. See more;
