Art From Code: A Response to Grace Hertlein

In a report, Hertlein compared the computer art on display and creators present at the 1975 International Conference of Computers and the Humanitites (ICCH) and what was displayed on the 1968 exhibition Cybernetic Serendipity. She uses the comparison to note…

Art From Code: A Response to Vera Molnár

Vera Molnár, as one of the pioneers of computer art, was really interested in repetition and changing her work one parameter one at a time. As a practice, I have several elements I wanted to experiment with repetition and randomness,…

Conference Project: Pixelated Memories

Going into this conference project, I really had no idea what I wanted to create. At the beginning of the semester, Angela and I had discussed where my interests laid both inside and outside of the class. In class, I…

Art From Code: A Response to Georg Nees

This week we were tasked to respond to the thinking of George Nees, a mathematician who became a pioneer in computer arts. He started making drawings with the use of a plotter, employing it as a drawing machine and utilising…

Art From Code: A Response to Vera Molnar

Some artists might start out their process toward a work of art with rules, with a grammar, but Vera Molnar tries to develop rules as she goes. These rules are derived through repetition, a process she calls “experimental methods of…

Art From Code: A Response to Grace Hertlein

For this assignment I began with a for loop that rotates an ellipse. The ellipse is generate by incrementing a variable in the loop as well as through randomness. The sketch draws itself and continues to do so until the…

Art from Code: A Response to Georg Nees

When examining Georg Nees’s work, I became perplexed with his ability to seamlessly alter his structures using ‘randomization.’ I love the thought of messing with set, orderly structures, however, I am usually a bit afraid to randomize aspects of my…

Art From Code: A Response to Georg Nees

For my response to Georg Nees I did three separate instances of a pattern showing random progression. By doing this I was able to experiment with three different formal patterns but lost some experience by not sticking with one pattern…

Art From Code: A Response to Vera Molnár

The images above are my series inspired by Vera Molnár’s work and the concept of gradualism. Coming into this assignment, I thought that I had a clear vision as to what type of design I wanted to create. As I…

Art ∞ Code – Climbing Fractal Evolutô

  Nature is unfathomable beyond our imagination. In my humble attempt to re-create natural phenomenons, I gained a deeper awe of its sheer intricacy. One of the most vital rewards I gained from my project was, a more profound grasp…

Art from Code: A Response to Georg Nees

In order to interpret and mimic what Georg Nees did with his art work we first have to understand his ideas and heuristics to do so. Georg Nees was a mathematician who was a student of Bense in the University if…

Art From Code: Beyond 184

It’s all been leading up to this. Let’s have a little urban fantasy. You’re on top of a skyscraper. You look down, and you see the neon world below. It’s beautiful, it’s alive. And I wanted to capture that. To…

Art from Code: Little Big Lines

Learning to code this semester has been one hell of a journey. I’m not that proud to say I’ve cried about coding, but I have. There are witnesses. But it has been a worthy experience, and an important one.  I…

Art from Code: Molnár Lines

For my conference project, I am further exploring the works of Vera Molnar. She was a pioneer in computer based artwork, having first started by using a plotter. A lot of her works represent or came out of gradualism –…

Art from Code: Perfect Weather

Like many of my classmates I thrust myself into the great unknown when creating my wallpaper. My process didn’t begin with any fancy sketches or a long overdrawn brainstorm, instead I went straight to the internet and began perusing wallpapers…

Art from Code: Happy Accidents

This project has been one of my favorites thus far.This project came entirely from experimenting with code I was familiar with. I originally only had one pattern that would infinitely expand. My original intention was to create a perimeter for…

Art from Code: Adoornments

For this assignment, I spent most of my time just experimenting. I went in with no real idea of what I was going to do, but I just wanted to explore. I really didn’t sketch much because I jumped right into…

Art from Code: Modulated Synthesis

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…

Art from Code: Circling Pink

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,…

Art from Code: Nice to Look At

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…
