Andrey Yazev

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 16:21:38 PST

Yes, Andrey Yazev, the same. I guess many of you already know a big part of his portfolio at his well known site the389.com. The other day I was checking his site to see if he had updated it with some new piece, he didn't. So then I came back to the blog to see which was his last work on here, there were none from him, only when Triangulation Blog presented the launch of Fach & Asendorf Gallery he was featuring a great piece with scrollbars, (this one) and also he designed the (website) gallery, see here. So I was quite surprise about, I spent so much time toying with his javascript experiments, and I hadn't published any yet! I could solve it easy and quickly :) See more;

I have published some videos which show how Andrey Yazev's pieces work, but I highly recommend to visit them and interact with, just click the link above each video. Some works have been designed for running on Safari 4, if you can't try them, see the videos then.
He has one of my favorite loopable animations on the internet, see here, if you don't see any animation, just look at the address box.
As his site says the last update was last July 2011, so looking forward to see some new works from Andrey soon.

Pinar & Viola - Go

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 04:09:40 PST

"Go" is one of the latest great visual projects by Pinar & Viola. A video created for a collaborative single (Go) by Diplo and Dutch DJ/producer Oliver Twizt, available for release here.

The work shows a psychedelic environment featuring various clips of greyhounds racing through different internet browsers and video players. Not everything has been edited in the video, Pinar & Viola designed a bunny webcam application, which makes you incarnate as the bunny, like the starring actor of the video. You can download it here, it was developed by Hilal Koyuncu. See more;

Pinar & Viola_

"Pinar Demirdag and Viola Renate, form an independent design duo which creates hyper detailed surfaces by 'scanning' the contemporary visual culture, and 'printing' ecstatic surfaces in return. Colossal visual gestures, hyper intricate detail and excessive embellishment fill our collaged designs to the brim. By transposing, fusing and altering its elements, we aim to subvert conventional compositions."

Interactive Fluid Dynamics Rendered In ASCII

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 03:00:07 PST

I really enjoyed to toy with Nick Kwiatek's interactive home page. What a flow of ASCII characters! The organic forms and shadows are pretty cool. You can select two different aesthetics, I like the hacker mode one because there is more contrast. So pass the pointer over the page and feel the flow, press the left mouse button for a burst of movement. As they are characters I was trying to see them smaller by cmd - , it looks different and nice too, a little bit slower. See more:

Search by image - Sebastian Schmieg

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16:11:36 PST

One of the latest works of Sebastian Schmieg is called "Search by image" the same name as the Google's feature which was launched last year and lets users search by image, and he used for this project. Sebastian made different huge researches of images by using a recursive process, he started with one image, then search again with result from the previous search, and the same with the next result, etc. He wrote some scripts to make the process easier. Finally Sebastian presented the different searches through videos, displaying the images following the same order he did searching the images.

In the first video below, into the post, he started from a transparent png, and then searching recursively for almost 3000 times. You can see more tests on his site. See more;

Lambeaux by Nicolas Boillot

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 18:45:11 PST

Lambeaux is a work in progress by Nicolas Boillot, who is studying a Ph.D in audiovisual aesthetic in the LARA, a research laboratory of the university of Toulouse, France. This work is part of his thesis which is focused on the remix in digital art. Nicolas is making real time video installation using Openframeworks.

In “Lambeaux”, the television stream is taken as raw material, a material lacerated by a process of motion capture which extract in real time all the pixel that have changed during the broadcast. Those fragments are captured and recast, in a spatial-temporal way, on a twenty-four images loop. See more (the following GIFs are quite heavy, wait to load them please);

The accumulation process takes place within the contours of past images and the way pixels are then reorganized in real time produces a jagged image with unreal effects - a ghostly memory of the video flux, a colorful palimpsest where fragments of motion and time coexist.

Nicolas is looking for a way to export the video without dropping frame in openframeworks. For now he has exported some tests on GIF format.

Lambeaux will be exhibited as a live video installation (using local TV broadcast) in Le Hublot at Nice, France from the 17th of March to the 8th of April 2012.

thanks for the tip Filip!

Network Time by Spiros Hadjidjanos

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 02:01:52 PST

Network Time is an internet based unit system created by Spiros Hadjidjanos late 2011, it consists of several Wi-Fi routers arranged in the gallery space providing free Internet access to visitors. The LED that reflects the data-traffic of each router is extended along a fiber optic cable magnifying its flicker. Although the devices look only physically modified, the artist has altered the operating system of each router, to manipulate the fluctuation of the fiber optics. See more;

"With Network Time, Hadjidjanos proposes the measurement of time in units of information or using a router as a clock. A minute is a gigabyte and a terabyte an hour. Time is measured based on the information received. It is a concept relevant to “radical network empiricism” as described by the new media theorist Adrian Mackenzie. In our contemporary Post-Network condition the amount of information we receive changes our perception of temporality. The emergence of the Internet stretched across time and space and revealed that clock time is not an absolute milieu against which we synchronize and quantify time, but rather a human construction that has very little to do with time other than serving as an inflexible way of measuring duration. In this case, the routers, as technological objects suggest a technical yet subjective and non-isochronic time measurement." - Kwadrat

Pendulum Video Mode

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 10:42:00 PST

Pendulum Video Mode is a work in progress by Jonathan Brainin, who is experimenting using feedback video plus the movement generated through a pendulum which creates mesmerizing endless zig-zag visual effects. The following videos documents some of the kinetic video installation tests made by Jonathan. The feedback is generated by the displaying of a camera feed on a monitor whose image is captured by a camera placed a few feet in front of the screen. See more;

Rooms by Sara Ludy

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 18:30:14 PST

Klausgallery presents a new solo show by Sara Ludy, who is featuring a new work called Rooms, it is the latest from her series “Space Portraits. As Klausgallery describes; Sara Ludy’s new video “Rooms” shows the artist’s spatial explorations of models from Google’s SketchUp 3D Warehouse. An ominous synthetic soundtrack accompanies Ludy’s ethereal manipulations of architectural space. See more;

"Her interest in the creative constraints of “defaults” of both architecture and software manifests in the work in the models chosen, as well as in the textures created by Ludy using a simple browser-based painting tool common in online forums.

The artist-composed soundtrack, diligent video composition, and original textures are tempered by more oblique gestures, such as the choice by Ludy to re-photograph the piece by means of a projector in physical space prior to uploading to YouTube, reflecting her capacity to balance auteuristic experimentation with an acceptance of the essential unity of physical and idealized spaces." - Klausgallery

Years by Bartholomäus Traubeck

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 17:21:51 PST

Years is a project made by Bartholomäus Traubeck in 2011, consisting in a record player that plays slices of wood. Year ring data is translated into music. Made using modified turntable, computer, vvvv, camera, acrylic glass, veneer.

"A tree’s year rings are analysed for their strength, thickness and rate of growth. This data serves as basis for a generative process that outputs piano music. It is mapped to a scale which is again defined by the overall appearance of the wood (ranging from dark to light and from strong texture to light texture). The foundation for the music is certainly found in the defined ruleset of programming and hardware setup, but the data acquired from every tree interprets this ruleset very differently." - Bartholomäus Traubeck.

netstyl.es

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 15:19:26 PST

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

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 06:29:50 PST

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

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:58:37 PST

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."

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 03:39:39 PST

Jeffrey Plaide_
"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

Faces by Ashkan Honarvar

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 11:33:52 PST

Faces is a collages series made by Ashkan Honarvar in 2009, during this year Honarvar's work was focused just on the manipulation and distortion of human faces through cut-outs, drawing and photography. This was the first one, see the rest here. See more

"The saying goes that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. It occurs in places you least expect. Revealing its art in the human body, but also cruelly absent in the presence of deformations and scars. Ashkan Honarvar (1980) depicts an undeniable, unavoidable beauty by accepting the darker sides of human ‘nature’.

The body, torn by acts of war, exploited by the sex industry or used as a tool for seeking identity, is the focal point of his work.This constitutes a search for a universal representation of the evil latent in every human, providing an opportunity for reflection. His aesthetic dissection has an intriguing macabre nature, which opens the images to interpretation.

Honarvar’s almost empiric exploration of the human condition knows no bounds. Its goal; the indefinable core."

White Line by Adam Frelin

White Line by Adam Frelin_

Fluorescent fixtures and bulbs, steel cable, generator 240' long / 2007 - 175' long / 2009.

"A long line of fluorescent lights were strung along a steel cable spanning the valley between two hills on a cattle ranch in Wyoming. The line of lights slightly bowed to mimic the curve of the valley 50' below. When seen in this natural context fluorescent light is peculiarly similar to moonlight, yet the shadows it created, and the manner in which the valley was illuminated, were almost supernatural in appearance. A similar version was commissioned by the American Embassy for the International House of Japan. "White Line (Tokyo)" functioned like an effects machine, transforming their Japanese garden into an eerie, psychedelic wonderland." - Adam Frelin. See more;

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:47:58 PST

The following projects by Finnbogi Pétursson, are awesome ways to see how beautiful are the patterns, textures and forms created using the water. They have been projected because of the reflection of light on different surfaces, and caused by severals frequencies of sound. See more;

Reset 2011

"In Reset 2011 I´m using tree sinus waves to create circular patterns on the surface of a large pool build in the gallery. Spotlights shows the water reflection from different angle in one image on a opposite wall. The ripples travel across the water surface, they disappear for a short time when they reach a soft line in the middle of the piece , then appear bit later mixed with the ripples coming from the opposite direction. To gather they form a 3hz dreamless drawing.

There are four categories of brainwaves, ranging from the most activity to the least activity. Delta brainwaves are the lowest brainwave frequency, they range from 1,5Hz - 4,0 Hz, but are the highest in amplitude. Delta waves are considered the Deepest possible level of mind / body relaxation and are commonly associated with the deepest sleep state and a state of unconscious awareness. 3hz lies just on the border between delta and theta waves, just after you stop dreaming." - Finnbogi Pétursson.

Earth

Earth 2010, Ars Electronica, Linz, Austria

The Watertanks, Water-Earth

"This phenomenon is one of the naturally occurring magnetic fields that have always surrounded us. It appears that the space between the earth’s surface and the ionosphere forms a gigantic resonant cavity with physical dimensions that give it a frequency somewhere between 7hz and 8hz, 7,83 to be exact. Producing sinus tones from 30hz - 42,8hz and run them parallel two and two. I create an interference wave of 7,8hz, known as the Schumann resonance." - Finnbogi Pétursson.

Circle 1991

"In 1991 at the Living Art Museum, Pétursson installed a large loudspeaker suspended over a darkened pit filled with water. The work was titled Circle, since the loudspeaker formed a sound wave whose frequency was boosted to 0-200 khz and rippled the surface of the water so that the wave motion formed regular circles at certain moments of the process. As the pitch of the wave rose the pattern on the surface of the water changed, and was projected on to the wall. Aided by the water and the projector, the artist managed to make the amplification of sound visible. H.B.R.

The loudspeaker forms a sound wave whose frequency is boosted to 0-40hz and ripple the surface of the water so that the wave motion forms regular circlesat certain moments of the process. As the pitch of the wave rose the pattern on the surface of the water changed, and is projected on to the wall." - Finnbogi Pétursson.

Soundcube by Bernhard Leitner

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 09:39:31 PST

I really liked this sketches from one of the first sound projects called Soundcube, made in 1969 by Bernhard Leitner. See more;

"Bernhard Leitner is considered a pioneer of the art form generally referred to as “sound installation.” He introduced sound to the installation space, allowing the installation space to emerge through the sound. Leitner, who actually studied architecture, has been a visionary ever since the very start of his artistic career. His sculptures—which he refers to as “sound-space objects”—and installations are the result of long, complex processes of development. In precise sketches and workbooks, he first approaches the sculptural, architectural qualities of sound in theory.

He undertakes, as it were, foundational scientific research by studying frequencies, volumes, movements and combinations of sounds and their impact on the body, sketching possible spatial figures, such as cubes, corridors, fields, pipes, and exploring the impact of bodily posture on acoustic perception. In 1968 Leitner moved to New York, where he concretely began working on sound-space studies in his studio. He developed multi-channel compositions using sound recordings that were not musically conceived, from which he extracted specific sound material and combined it in work-specific series of sounds. He then notated these series using visual codes that he himself developed consisting of letter combinations on rolls of paper, and transferred them to perforated tape." - Oscar Lopez at archdaily.

I recommend a great article about him at archdaily, see here. And his own website is also full of projects and sound installations which have been archived by date. It's a great source of dynamic and data diagrams, see here.

"Magdalena Jetelova used illuminated lines to expose communication structure of the landscape; Crossing King's Cross - she uses lights to map out the future path of a train route as well as natural changes (in the Island Project / Islandský projekt – she enlists lasers to draw attention to the undersea intercontinental divide (mountainscape). In her geographical project, Songline 75° 36‘52‘‘ (1998) contemporary localization techniques are used to join two spots on the earth. This is possible thanks mainly to use of the imagination stemming from local traditions." - Lenka Dolanová. See more;

Iceland, 1992_

"The Central Atlantic Shelf is an approximately 15,000 kilometer-long mountain range, mostly hidden at the bottom of the ocean. From the geological point of view it forms the dividing line between Europe and America. This is a seam along the place where millions years ago two continents were torn apart. Today we know that the Central Atlantic Shelf is part of a bigger system which circles the entire globe for nearly 70,000 kilometers. It goes from Iceland to the north between Spitzbergen and Greenland, continuing through the Arctic Ocean to the mouth of the Lena River in Siberia. In the southern direction, it goes from Iceland eastward along the southern end of Africa, continuing to the north through the Indian Ocean. Iceland is the only place where the Central Atlantic Shelf goes above the sea.

The geological border between Europe and America can be seen with the naked eye for about 350 kilometers in the form of a range which cuts through Iceland in a north-eastern direction. Both land masses are still moving, shifting and bumping into one another. Therefore the whole area is seismically active with a number hot springs and active volcanoes. The light line of the laser beam draws the border between the two continents. The form of the exact direct line is all the time freshly defined by its touch with the terrain—it goes through the raw landscape along the lava fields, through cracks disappearing in the mist of hot steam from geysers. The computer-determined precise line of a geological event in ancient time that has formed our world of today." - Magdalena Jetelova.

Crossing King’s Cross, 1996_

"The King’s Cross section of central London has been significantly marked by its industrial past dating from the 18th century. This part of London, comprised of a network of industrial plants and warehouses and traversed by railway tracks and canals, is set to become a modern urban crossroad. It will host the terminal of high-speed trains between London and Paris, connecting Britain with the Continent. The 54 hectares of railway land behind King’s Cross and St Pancras stations is today a sparsely populated, unarticulated territory within a dense and fast-paced urban environment.

The former modernity of the railway station of 1850 and visible traces of the then dynamic development of the area are perceived today as time which has stopped. The past of King’s Cross is represented by abandoned industrial buildings and old railway operations; its future consists of modern transport and communication technology. The present is a transitory period, a kind of “no man’s time”. A laser beam indicating the future line of the TGV railway in the existing landscape links the physically present past without real action and the so far virtual future, a direct path of the speed of the light replaces half-time life. Photography changes into a new form afforded by the speed of the train." - Magdalena Jetelova.

bubblebyte.org PRIMO ANNIVERSARIO

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 03:15:21 PST

I guess many of you already know bubblebytte, the online gallery which has exhibited during the last year the work of greattt new media artists we also love here at Triangulation. Well, in few days this project created by Rhys Coren and Attila Fattori Franchini is going to celebrate its "PRIMO ANNIVERSARIO", just next Friday 27th of January.

To mark it’s first anniversary, bubblebyte.org has teamed up with The Sunday Painter in Peckham (here in London) to host a group exhibition of works by diverse international practitioners who have had solo shows at bubblebyte.org in the past year. The various spaces of The Sunday Painter will be explored and inhabited by multi-form practices, installations, digital synesthesia and, on the night of the opening reception, LuckyPDF will also curate an exciting visual after-show at the neighboring Bussey Building. See more;

PRIMO ANNIVERSARIO includes installation work by Rob Chavasse, prints by Oliver Sutherland and Laurel Schwulst, digital atmospheres by Oregon Painting Society, Nicolas Sassoon and Duncan Malashock and video installations by Pascual Sisto, Sara Ludy and Sabrina Ratté.
As part of the show, The Sunday Painters website will play host to a special web base creation by Nicolas Sassoon, see here.
On the same date, bubblebyte.org will also launch Extrabyte a new section on its platform specifically dedicated to encouraging reflection and creating regular content in and around the shows, including essays, interviews, music podcasts and video by artists, curators and practitioners in an attempt to enlarge the critical discourse about the artistic work they present.
