Joshua Hopping

This is an untitled piece made by Joshua Hopping using elements from one of my favorite GUI aesthetics, the aqua user interface from macintosh, how beautiful are those scroll bars which Lion killed!

FERÉSTEC

I like Feréstec works and how he combines painting, footage and other media with graphic user interface to compose the final layout or generate numerous patterns of details of the same piece. Here is some new work since I published his work last year. See more;

Screen Recording by Evan Bech

These screen feedbacks captured by Evan Bech are so good. This is a well known technique used by digital and video artists. As Wikipedia says; Optical feedback is the optical equivalent of acoustic feedback. A simple example is the feedback that occurs when a loop exists between an optical input, e.g., a video camera, and an optical output, e.g., a television screen or monitor (more).

What I find interesting in these pieces is the volume of the three-dimensional forms Evan Bech has provided through the feedback, also the visual source he has used it is very beautiful. See more;

Capture by Satoru Higa

Capture is a sound based application created by Satoru Higa. I like how simple and beautiful is and how chaotic it can be, sonorously and visually. It works on the own desktop, making the transparent windows use whatever visual data source from the desktop by transforming it to sound. The colour and the position of the colours below decides the pitch, tone and tempo. You can create as many compositions as you want by moving the windows or moving the content below of them. I really enjoyed to see on the video (below) when Satoru tries it over the a webpage and he scrolls down Google's search while the windows are fixed. It made me think to try it over other art based websites and videos to know how they sound, but the application is not downloadable so far. See more;

As Creative Applications says; "Some time ago Zach Lieberman posted code on the oF forums which allows you to show the pixels directly below the openFrameworks app window in a texture. This little app Satoru Higa uses the same method to create a music sequencer." 

To see more experiments by Satoru, see his GitHub.
