Art from Code

My original idea of the wallpaper comes from “time”– When I choose new wallpapers, I always think about how to make the clock of my cellphone clear. Thus, I use many elements about “time” for this assignment. The picture itself…

I was uncertain of how I wanted to create a central background to the canvas.  I was influenced by the Annie Albers grid at first except I wanted to make it a resemblance of a grid more though, and less…

This work was heavily inspired by the ideas Vera Molnar’s generative creation of shapes which then are subtly changed and remade next to the original shape. Since my piece wasn’t made to be a static image, instead of showing the…

My attitude towards this assignment was radically different from my attitude towards the previous assignment. I was inspired by our classroom experiments in combining both for-loops and the mod function. I was also inspired by Josef Albers’ usage of colors…

To start this project off, I looked through the works of Josef and Anni Albers because I love the way that both of them use colors that are somewhat muted yet also rich. I used the digital color meter to…

I began the process of creating my scrolling wallpaper by setting up the initial elements I would utilize for the final product. I was inspired by a 70’s aesthetic of looping circles. As a fan of the French New Wave,…

Okay, so loops have kicked my ass. Well, coding is kicking my ass, but here I am, trying. And not trying hard enough, but trying nonetheless. This project seemed like a fun idea, but when introduced to all the new…

My portrait basically comes from the idea “abstract”. It was mentioned in our class, and I thought it is a good way to show how I consider myself throughout my work. To me, mosaic is a method to generalise the…

The title of my collage is “Japonism”. The idea of this assignment came from the time when I was organising photos taken in Japan. Since the country itself has vivid, various aspects to discover and enjoy, I decided to use…

This one is all color, and a whole lot of experimentation. While with my last prompt, I had an idea from the beginning, the only thing I knew about this one is that I’d like to have a lot of…

When we got the assignment to create a collage, it took me a long time to decide what theme I wanted to work with. But after several hours of watching a playthrough of the game Cuphead, in which a queen…

When the project was assigned I struggled to come up with a theme for the collage.  however, my friends suggested I embrace the Halloween season and explore witches! Immediately nuns stood out as their polar opposite. The further I looked into the…

I knew at the beginning that I wanted to have my collage be about this new headspace I feel that I’m in right now. After a serious car accident in January that forced me to take a semester off, and…

My collage began with a brainstorm of words and associations, held together by the single narrative of vice and virtue. Having just finished the Odyssey in my literature seminar, I was struck by the physical and psychological pleasures and seductions…

I’ve made many collages in my life. I’ve always enjoyed cutting out images from magazines or flyers, taping them to the lid of a shoebox and finding satisfaction in the collection of visuals. Making collages always felt very personal, I…

This collage piece was mostly focused on me trying to get a lot of elements from different sources and try to get them to look as natural as possible together. Except for the phone which was intentionally made to be…

Once upon a time, there was a Hedgehog who wanted to go on a walk. Why did the Hedgehog want to go on a walk? He didn’t really have a reason. It’s just what the Hedgehog wanted to do for as…

Already having been behind in Art from Code, I realized that my outlook towards this assignment stipulated an effective strategy. After talking with some people, I decided to try to capture a poem that I had already written in the…

My first instinct with this assignment was to write “this is a collage” and turn that in, in true Rauschenberg style. But then I decided to give it a shot and see what I could come up with. The assignment…

I started with the idea of commenting on the role of wealth and attention in society. But after a while I realized my concept kept coming back to social media.  Obviously social media is a catch grab for attention but…
