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

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."

Nervous Structure (field)

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:12:09 PST

Nervous Structure (field) (2012) is the latest interactive projected structure created by Annica Cuppetelli and Cristobal Mendoza. While ago I published one of their first series, but from the same family, Nervous structures, see here.
This one, consists in a structure composed of 144 vertical lines made of elastic is illuminated by a video projector. The viewer motion is transformed into forces affecting the projection. The great moire effect is created because of the own projection the structure and the shadows created on the background. See more;

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

Colorful Colorado by Phil Morton

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 05:29:40 PST

Colorful Colorado by Phil Morton, 1976_
Phil Morton (1945 - 2003) was an influential video artist and activist who founded the Video Area in 1970 at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where he taught from 1969 - 1981/1982. See more;

I added all information I found about Phil Morton at Wikipedia, I find it really interesting about his trajectory as video artist and about his life;

"The Video Area that Morton founded was the first department in the United States to offer erectile degrees in Video art. The Video Area eventually became the Video Department, which later became part of the Film, Video & New Media Department. Phil Morton also founded The Video Data Bank, one of the world's leading collections of Video art. The Video Data Bank was originally conceived of as a collection of shared resources for and projects by the students of the Video Area as well as an archive for documentation of the visiting artists and activities in the Video Area. Frequent visitors and collaborators in the Video Area during the 1970s included Steina and Woody Vasulka, Gene Youngblood, Dan Sandin, Timothy Leary, Barbara Buckner and many other active and founding members of the early Video art community. Morton introduced analog and digital computers into the curriculum of the Video Area and the School in the 1970s through the use of the Sandin Image Processor, a patch-programmable analog computer optimized for video processing and synthesis developed from 1971 - 1973, and The Bally Astrocade Arcade Video Game System, a programmable home video game console developed in 1974.

Morton's playful, critical, self-reflexive and conversational Video art works, projects and performances often involved ongoing collaborations. In particular, Morton collaborated extensively with artists Jane Veeder, Dan Sandin, Tom DeFanti and Jamie Fenton. In 1973, Morton asked Dan Sandin if he could build the first copy of Sandin's original Sandin Image Processor. Sandin and Morton then began to work together to create the schematic plans for the Sandin Image Processor, a document they called the Distribution Religion. Through The Distribution Religion, Sandin open sourced his Sandin Image Processor, giving the plans away for only the cost of making Xerox copies and mailing them while incorporating any additions or modifications made by those who built their own Sandin Image Processor into any further releases of the Distribution Religion. Morton developed an approach he called COPY-IT-RIGHT, an anti-copyright approach to making and freely sharing Media art. The Distribution Religion and Morton's individual and collaborative Media art works were released under his COPY-IT-RIGHT license. COPY-IT-RIGHT encouraged people to make faithful copies, caring for and distributing the work as widely as possible.

During his life, Morton's Video art works were exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, the Iverson Museum of Art (New York) and the 1975 São Paulo Art Biennial (Brazil). His Video art works were also shown on television stations such as WNET (New York), WGBH (Boston) and WTTW (Chicago) and reviewed in magazines such as Artforum and New Art Examiner. In 2007 the "Distribution Religion" exhibition at The Art Gallery of Knoxville was inspired by and featured the work of Phil Morton.
The Phil Morton Memorial Research Archive (located in the Film, Video & New Media Department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago) seeks to coordinate and freely distribute Phil Morton's Media art work and associated research under Morton's COPY-IT-RIGHT license. jonCates initiated the Phil Morton Memorial Research Archive in 2007 after receiving a generous donation of Phil Morton's personal video archive/database from Morton's surviving partner Barb Abramo. The Film, Video & New Media Department presented "COPY-IT-RIGHT! Selections from The Phil Morton Memorial Research Archive" at The Gene Siskel Film Center on Thursday, February 15 2007. The program included excerpts from Morton's "General Motors" (like the video below called "Colorful Colorado") and the complete works of "Program # 9 (Amateur TV)" by Morton and Veeder and "SAIC Memo". - Wikipedia

XYZT, Les paysages abstraits

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:54:46 PST

X (horizontal), Y (vertical), Z (depth), T (time). Four letters to describe the motion of a point in the space, and think about an imaginary environment. Mathematical paradoxes, mesmerizing typographies and moving landscapes, all this at this exhibition called "XYZT, Les paysages abstraits" (XYZT The abstract landscapes). Surveying of the digital space, finger algorithms, fields of light... a lot of imaginary territories to explore. A coincidence between geometric and organic, between real and virtual. This is an awesome installation and interactive project created by Adrien M / Claire B and Martin Gautron. See more;

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 15:11:14 PST

Karl Kliem aka Dienststelle is well known for his music installations, where sound and light are connected to create very minimalist environments. I really liked his monochromatic works where he used neons and leds to visualize the sound. He has collaboreted with many different artists such as Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto as well as Jan Jelinek, Jan St. Werner of Mouse on Mars, Thomas Brinkmann, Thomas Köner and Sleeparchive. See more;

Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto - Ax Mr. L

Visualisation for the Insen Tour of Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto in 2005 and 2006. This one i did within an hour when i had access to the complete LED screen for the first time. The tour had already started. When you would display just one colour on the whole screen you could see the edges of each LED module. So i just used these edges for the display of the lines. Each stroke of a key on Sakamotos Yamaha Disklavier would send out a MIDI signal that would call a random preset of predefined patterns on the screen.

Burial - Prayer

Realtime visualization of Prayer by Burial with one of my Rasterdecks - a grid ceiling element with four fluorescent tubes.

Minus 60°

Surround sound installation with synchronized florescent tubes. Six speakers on tripods. One fluorescent tube attached to each tripod. The video shows a short excerpt of the first setup at Hafen2 in Offenbach near Frankfurt as part of the Luminale 2010 and part of the exhibition series "Words & Sounds" curated by Hortense Pisano.

Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto - Trioon I

The main elements of the music, piano and sine waves, are represented by two elements. Abstract keys fade away like the piano sounds fade out of your mind. Horizontal stripes display the sine waves frequencies with their vertical position.

White Elephant (Privately Soft) by Jimenez Lai

White Elephant (Privately Soft) by Jimenez Lai, 2011.

The White Elephant is roughly 10'x10'x10'. It has three basic premises: (1) A building inside a building, somewhere between a super-furniture and a small house. (2) An object that tumbles to attain multiple orientations to blur the qualification plans and sections. (3) An object that is hard on the outside, soft on the inside.

Its exterior is clad with translucent polycarbonate, and the interior is stuffed cowhide. It tumbles and changes orientation and can flip to eight different stances. See more;

"What is a building that can tumble freely without gravity or fixed orientations, hard on the outside but soft on the inside, and obstructs the continuity of interior spaces like an elephant in a room? This installation is a freestanding micro building / macro furniture that questions projection, inside/outside, rigidity/fluidity and size/scale." - Jimenez Lai

(re):media by Krista Wortendyke, 2009.

"Although most of us have never experienced war, we are surrounded by its imagery. (Re): media is an exploration of the way imagery and information from movies, videogames, newspapers, and the Internet come together to form our perception of war. Having never experienced war first-hand I am forced to put my faith in mediated expressions of the thing itself. By combining the imagery I pillage from all these sources, there is a possibility that what I am creating is more real than the individual images themselves. Explosions are war's most universal and most spectacular signifiers. We are never falling short of this imagery. I have made use of these magnetizing images to show not only how the lines between fiction and non-fiction blur, but also to show how a mediated experience can become indecipherable from a real experience." - Krista Wortendyke.

10,000 Pixels at Art Micro Patronage

鳳凰 / ほうおう / Ho-o by Alexander Peverett

"10,000 Pixels" is the title for the ongoing exhibition at Art Micro Patronage > an experimental online exhibition space featuring monthly curated shows of digital, new media, and intermedia work. I love the donorship way AMP does to support the participating artists; As visitors navigate through the exhibitions, they are encouraged to become micro-patrons of the arts, associating their appreciation of the works with small monetary values. Patrons receive a link and image as recognition for their generosity and can easily keep track of works they've donated to via the AMP platform.

"Artist, musician, and educator Jeff Thompson has curated "10,000 Pixels"; where artists were asked to create three artworks using a 10,000-pixel “allowance”. The extremel "10,000 Pixels" is an exhibition curated by y low resolution becomes an aesthetic and conceptual challenge, resulting in ultra-low-resolution photographs, carefully crafted digital abstractions, blocky representations of physical objects similar to early Atari and NES sprites, or other unexpected solutions." See more;

"The Aesthetics of Low-Res

10,000 Pixels is about the creative strategies that emerge from limitations. For this exhibition, artists were given an “allowance” of 10,000 pixels and asked to create three images using only those pixels. The results range from tiny geometric forms, hotdogs/shit, tiny animations, and reminiscences of NES graphics and the early web.

We experience digital images in a kind of bracketed time. Current technologies look clean and crisp, whereas images from a few years ago seem inadequate and embarrassing. When looking at a video I made only a few years ago, I noticed the huge differences in quality between the older piece and more recent projects made in HD. Yet as a two-dimensional surface, even a seemingly low-resolution image contains a gigantic amount of information. A crummy YouTube video might have had 320x240 pixels, but even such an unacceptably low-resolution image contains 76,800 pixels [1]. The works in this exhibition explore the limitation of resolutions that are several orders of magnitude lower, having more to do with historical influences than the promise of 4k projectors."

Participating artists: Alexander Peverett, Angelo Plessas, Ben Vickers, Laura Brothers, Matt Cella, Tom Moody and Travess Smalley.

Anestis Logothetis - Wellenformen

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 04:11:02 PST

This work, specially the visual part looks familiar to me. Is like I saw it before, but not sure. I'm also guessing this is a remake video featured on Youtube, where is not a description about the piece and the music on is from Greek musician Anestis Logothetis, 1921.

Anyway this is a great monochromatic and loopable work. I'd like to know more about the creator of, don't hesitate to comment here or at TB's facebook page if you know more info about. See the video below;

Flowpi by Jonathan McCabe

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 06:15:28 PST

Days ago I attended the Flowpi exhibition by Jonathan McCabe at Fach and Asendorf Gallery, that was when I discovered the hallucinogenic and organic world that McCabe creates by writing his own software. Then I searched more about his work and specially about the Flowpi series and I found on his vimeo account these awesome landscapes moving and growing up! I couldn't resist to ask him a little bit about the process of, see below what Jonathan told us about his Flowpi series;

"The Flowpi series was made using software that I wrote myself. It is a product of two processes. One is a simple flow like a 2 dimensional compressible fluid, which mixes up the colours and blends everything together, but also makes sharp edges where there is a kind of shock front. The other process is one of differentiation based on the Turing instability, which produces coloured lines and dots, and also a force acting on the motion of the fluid, stirring it up." - Jonathan McCabe

Reliefs by Alexandra Roozen

noreply@blogger.com (Triangulation Blog) — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 02:13:51 PST

These "Reliefs" by Alexandra Roozen are mesmerizing! I really like their minimalist style and careful composition, despite this, they provoke in the viewer a very strong visual effect, introducing him/her into different impresive perspectives. All the series is made from the same material and size, silicone rubber and 50x40 cm, 2011. See more;

"Alexandra Roozen's works are full of surprises. They demand physical proximity, to be looked at up-close, scrutinized. They absorb your vision, invite you to discover emerging planes, distinguish lines and follow contours. The observer is challenged to view the work again and again from various perspectives. This is mainly a result of the fact that, in order to research and analyze the properties and limitations of materials, Roozen explores the expressive power of forms and textures, of sizes and proportions. It is, however, the intense manner in which she is able to render spatial illusion that determines the magic of her work." - Netty van de Kamp
