Art from Code

Art from Code: First Impressions Post-Mortem

My project is based on the works of Lothar Quinte, whose most known work is featured on First Impressions of Earth by the Strokes. I decided to animate and apply what we’ve learned in class to his images. Throughout the…

Art from Code: Don’t Forget to Blink Post-Mortem

My conference project assignment was to use Victor Vasarely’s optical art pieces, and recreate them using Processing. That wasn’t the goal, though; my goal wasn’t to make something that already existed. It has always been, ever since I started pitching…

Art from Code: Abstracted Interaction Post-Mortem

For my conference project, I ended up with five sketches inspired by Malevich and decided to be more subtle than I expected with the interactive qualities. I feel that Malevich’s work already displays interactive qualities just based on how he…

Art from Code: Flower Post-Mortem

Because some of the previous conference works looked too similar with my work “Daisy,” so I made some change on my piece “Growing” and decided not to use the piece I mentioned in the last post “Windy”. I also added two…

Art from Code: Interactive Generative Art Proposal

Philip Galantner defines Generative Art as being “set into motion with some degree of autonomy,” resulting in the completion of the art. If autonomy is key in defining generative art, the presence of interactions raises the question of whether the…

Art from Code: Distortion

My project will be pieces that start with a normal, solid shape but get distorted and changed over time.  For example, I would start with a circle but change the shape over time to eventually make it no longer seem like…

Art from Code: Wave Clocks

My conference work derives from the wave clock code. For my project I am working on putting together a collection of wave clock sketches that vary in color scheme and presentation. My ambition is for each sketch to capture the…

Art from Code: Abstracted Interaction

For my conference project, I am making sketches that are in response to Kazimir Malevich’s works entitled: Suprematist Composition. My initial pursuit of this project was inspired by my attraction to art that involves geometric qualities. Malevich’s paintings fully encompass this…

Art from Code: Iterative “Painting”

Since my very early days of using Processing, I’ve been interested in pushing the program to its computational limits. There is such satisfaction in getting the computer working, with its fan running hard and the feeling of it heating up, the danger…

Art from Code: Nature + Code

For my conference project, I am interested in recreating elements of nature using Processing. As we further dissected the definition of Generative Art, I found there to be a close relationship to GenArt and nature itself. Both follow set systems…

Art from Code: Don’t Forget to Blink

The idea of optical illusions have fascinated me for a long time. Tricks of the mind when you’re seeing something different than what actually is. Our brains make assumptions to make sense of the information from the eyes, and sometimes…

Art from Code: Replication of works by Fred Tomaselli

My conference proposal this semester focuses on an attempt to replicate the works of Fred Tomaselli in my own ways. This idea came about gradually over the semester as we were working on ellipses. I found a fascination in drawing ellipses…

Art from Code: First Impressions

My project focuses on the works of Lothar Quinte, a German painter. One of his well known pieces is found on an album (First Impressions of Earth) by The Strokes, which is also one of my favorite albums. First Impressions is…

Art from Code: My American Life

The background for my art piece will consist of old, black and white photographs acquired from flea markets and thrift stores around New York state. An image of the artist will be added to the photos inconspicuously. Using Processing, graphic…

Art from Code: Boolean Oceanography

For my conference project, I plan on coding sketches of a vibrant, technicolor virtual aquarium/ocean using the techniques of noise, variance, dimension, and animation that we learned in class. Using vector drawing, I have created a series of different aquatic…

Art from Code: Flower

My conference work for this semester is a series of processing art work about “Flower.” The idea of “Flower” first came from one of my “Random_Continue_break” homework, called “Daisy.” I would like to show different styles of flowers and gardens…
