Advanced Beauty is a wondrous new DVD compilation comprised of 18 visuals by 20 artists, or rather sound sculptures, as curator Matt Pyke of UK-based Universal Everything would say. These transient pieces made by processing are for us to see how far you can really push the aesthetics of software generated visualisations and play around with an art genre that uses the screen as canvas. PingMag lets Matt expand the concept of moving still life imagery. via pingmag read more

We have a lot of respect for the work coming out of rAndom International. In their most current project “Audience” that was @ the Royal Opera House, they had taken a series of mirrors that had the ability to track moving objects in close proximity while operating at a smaller scale protocol that would allow for more eccentric behavior. I think it has a lot to do w/ their cleverness and a refined sense of making. read more

Marius Watz has some exceptional work up on his flickr page that he has done for the 2008 annual conference of the Security Traders Association. The idea of warping time into a circle and then projecting it onto a sphere opens up some interesting questions. This and the explosive iconographic nature of the work is rather fitting considering what has transpired over the last several weeks. enjoy!

Images are from Keith Peters site art from code. This is just a small sample of his work and you can find many more experiments on his site. He has been rather relentless in a wide breath of experimentation. In some cases the ability of the line work to oscillate in a state fluidity and rigidity is rather captivating. As if we were watching a hyper intricate steel space frame melt then recombine.
