Starry Night Interactive Animation

Petros Vrellis is the author of this incredible interactive and animated representation of the well know master piece Starry Night by Van Gogh. As Petros says, it is a try visualize the flow of the famous painting "Starry Night" of Vincent Van Gogh. The user can interact with the animation. Also, the sound responds to the flow. Made using openframeworks. See the video;

Rafael Rozendaal - “Intotime.com” edition of 10

After seven months working on, last week Sterling Crispin finally launched his new project called Netstyl.es, a very limited collection of t-shirts designed by well known artists on the internet. In this first edition the six artists participating are; Rafael Rozendaal, Ryder Ripps, Sterling Crispin, Tabor Robak, Travis Egedy, and Laura Brothers. 

Like I have already said the series is very limited, consisting in 10 copies each design, awesome collectable pieces. I really like Sterling's new project, because I also see it as a great way to promote and support the artists participating on, a big part of the profits go directly to them.  Sterlin tells us more about Netstyl.es. See more;

"I wanted to provide a common platform for contemporary artists to experiment with, and make physical what would otherwise be a digital form. Rafael Rozendaal for example used one of his websites, and my work is a comment on Tumblr aesthetics, the dissolvement of authorship, and naive digital artworks. Netstyl.es is digital art translated into physical forms, and I think clothing is a fresh and fun take on limited edition prints. The T-Shirts are connected to the Internet by concept and style. I think they act as hyperlinks in physical space to emerging concepts that artists are addressing on the Internet. Designing clothes, or industrial objects, is something a lot of artists think about and I could see the need for this sort of platform for experimentation to exist.

The first group of 6 artists is going to be expanded upon, I'm in conversation with the next series of artists already and I am very excited about it. They will all be limited to 10 shirts per design, which are individually printed and labeled with the artist name, title, and edition number on the back left of the shirt. Nearly all of the profits from sales go directly to the artists." - Sterling Crispin.

Idle Speculation by Aaron Rothman

Aaron Rothman’s photographs, video and installation artwork explore perceptual experience of space in both natural and built environments.

"For Idle Speculation, I have digitally layered together multiple views of a scrubby patch of weeds and wildflowers growing in a half-built office park, controlling how each layer interacts with the others. The different image layers variously amplify specific aspects of each other, or cancel each other out. Details emerge and recede; the lines blur between what is natural and artificial, what is seen and what is believed." - Aaron Rothman. See more;

Rollin Leonard at Fa-g.org

Screenshot from "Pig Pile", video.

Last wednesday the online gallery Fach and Asendorf founded by Kim Asendorf and Ole Fach, featured a new show called "Rearrangements" by Rollin Leonard. I really like the different basic tools and ways Rollin used to create all the pieces at the exhibition. See more; 

Rollin Leonard tells us more about his pieces and their process;
"Pictures of my friends are rearranged by moving pixels around. Groups of pixels are shuffled, made to fill a container, dispersed, and smushed. 

The methods for making these animations were fairly crude, using the basic selection tools in Photoshop (some were simple enough that I could have used MS Paint) and simply defined heuristics. For the 'Pig Pile' video I moved the bodies down little-by-little until they hit the floor or were impeded by another stationary pixel. I did this until there was no space between pixels on the vertical axis. The basic rule was: move the pixels down until they run into something.

Like 'Pig Pile,' most of the images are self-decoding except possibly for 'Faro Shuffle, Bethany.' A Faro shuffle, also called perfect shuffle, is a technical feat that card magicians try to master. What I imagined was seeing the side of the deck with an image printed on it -- rows of pixels as the edges of cards. When the deck is arranged in the default position out of the box it would show the complete image of Bethany. As you shuffle the image would scramble but eventually, since the shuffle is perfect, it returns to the original arrangement. This was something I wanted to see that my mind's eye was having trouble picturing.

The outliers might be the 'Disappear' gif animations. The technique used to create them was a more complicated, automated process -- peeling away one layer of pixels at a time and scattering them along crisscrossing paths."

"I am very interested in creating synthetic and electronic compositions, treatments and arrangements and using electronic music and visual synthesis techniques to realise complex and abstract concepts. My prime inspiration comes from the work carried out by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and its creative pioneers using electronic sounds and tape collage mixes. I am also interested in pure audio and video synthesis techniques, including modular analogue music synthesis systems and modular video synthesis tools and practices." - Jeffrey Plaide. See more;

The Gallium Machine Introspection

"The Gallium Machine Introspection is an original entirely electronic experimental composition using primarily the SynFactory 1.15 modular software synthesizer. The work has a mechanical and synthetic feel created by the various simultaneous rhythms and synthesized melody lines. The work is surreal, having overtones of particle physics imaginings and atomic explorations, brought about by the metallic sound combinations and abstract convoluting visuals. To start, four different SynFactory sequences were created, looped and repeated at various intervals, but always with the same time reference. The second using eight sine and triangle oscillators mixed together with the first four ring modulated. The output is fed through multiple delays, and two pure sinewave sequences added to the mix. The whole sequence was driven by the 16-step sequencer." - Jeffrey Plaide. (See more info about this piece here)

Polymorphic Involution Scintillator

"Polymorphic Involution Scintillator is an unusual electronic experimental composition using various VST software instruments to create the rhythms and melody lines as well as pure signal generation tones created by raw waveforms such as sine and filtered sawtooth chords. The effect achieved is a regulated rhythmic track with electronic, sample and signal generation elements, creating transcendental evolving synthesizer combinations with ethereal "spangle" effects. " - Jeffrey Plaide. (See more info about this piece here)

Selenium Noise Rollover Experiment

"Selenium Noise Rollover Experiment is an original electronically-produced loop-based experimental composition, inspired by the tape-collage experiments and rhythmic electronic arrangements produced by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in the early years. This work uses the computer as a tape recorder and tape splicing block. All of the base tones, chords and combinations of sounds are produced by the internal signal generators of the Adobe Audition software." - Jeffrey Plaide. (See more info about this piece here) 

Darkwave Singularity of the Borderland Agencies

"Darkwave Singularity of the Borderland Agencies is an original purely electronic experimental darkwave ambient music soundscape, designed to evoke feelings of mystery, the unknowable and that which cannot be defined nor described. The outer space of ambient synthesis is explored with evolving textures and shimmering metallic chambers of resonant tones and ring-modulated combinations." - Jeffrey Plaide. (See more info about this piece here) 

Electric Swell Evanescent Development

"Electric Swell Evanescent Development is an original experimental electronic music composition using various kinds of software packages and VST instruments to create an up-tempo and unusual electronic development. The work is built up from recorded segments of the software output and arranged together as a form of aural collage." - Jeffrey Plaide. (See more info about this piece here) 

Videofeedback Accelerations

"Videofeedback Accelerations uses a twin-camera video feedback setup and image processing through a digital vision mixer. Each section is mixed into the next with several optical passes making up each separate image acceleration. The piece comprises optical video feedback and internal digital feedback to create a surreal composition of growth and order counterpoint." - Jeffrey Plaide
