Clocks and Carrier Bags

Time as a Fourth Dimension – Before I go any further, I really need to present this video with sound.  The sound is incredibly important, because it adequately and eloquently sums up the disaster that is currently all of my technological devices!  Every computer or device I own is creaking at the seams! The video I created below actually sums up how it feels! No words needed.   Technology Gone Bad     I subtitled this blog ‘Time as a Fourth Dimension’ – I’m not actually going to discuss time as a fourth dimension here, but I do think it sounds great as a subtitle. It’s relevance will become apparent further into this blog.  In a previous blog I responded to the work of Vilde Rolfeson.  I also had a number of conversations with ChatGPT in the making of the digital pieces presented there.  These were inspired by her work.  I always felt that her work around the plastic bag landscape offered a myriad of experimental possibilities.  Therefore I decided that I would continue with more experimentation based on this. During my conversations with ‘Ai’ I asked for programs to gently destruct or disrupt an image.  After a number of […]

Onwards…

Holiday Touch Designer Projects Over the Christmas period I felt it was important for me to keep up the momentum with Touch Designer.   I am constantly aware that if I want to go down the more generative art route I need to be much more programming literate.  Normally when I sit down to an online tutorial I set my camera recording, so that I can produce a time-lapse.   I like to produce a time-lapse because it gives a visual snapshot of the passage of time.  This is something that is hidden from the viewer when observing final pieces.  The tutorials are vastly time consuming so I think that it is interesting to have this time represented in some way. I have numerous time-lapse footage of me working away at the Touch Designer tutorials.  Therefore, I think now may be a good time to think of more creative ways of expressing this passage of time.  However, for this blog I have included my last tutorial time-lapse as I worked on the video below it.   The Touch Designer Time-lapse   Results From The Touch Designer Time-lapse   Single Images Generated from The Video Above   Building in Mouse Interactivity […]

Creative Coding

Discovering Creative Coding with Processing – I thoroughly enjoyed our Zoom Session 10 where we were introduced to ‘Processing’. We had a small workshop that was run by Matthew Edwards. Processing is a simple but effective programming language ideal for anyone looking to undertake creative coding.  I was absolutely ‘sold’, indeed I decided to explore further.  Processing.org is a really well designed and thought out educational website teaching creative coding for beginners.  It allows students to copy and edit code within an interactive browser while working through the online tutorial videos.  I was delighted to receive a little certificate once I had completed my first hour of programming tuition.   Certificate of Completion Below is my certificate of completion.  I can thoroughly recommend the Precessing.org website for anyone who would like to begin a creative coding journey.  Recently I have been working with Touch Designer and my last project involved some coding work.  Processing has really helped with my understanding of the Touch designer workflow.  This week I was able to tackle quite a difficult Touch Designer tutorial about ‘Lissajous Curves’.  I believe the success of this project was largely due to understanding what code I was adding and why.  This […]

Zoom Session 10

Programming with Processing 😊 – This has to be one of my favourite sessions so far. I love all of my zoom sessions, but the chance to learn a little programming is always a positive for me. Until today I hadn’t come across the programming environment called ‘Processing’. I downloaded the software onto my computer and I attempted to play around with it a little. This was to familiarise myself with it a before the start of our session. I found the tutorials really informative and I very quickly got the ‘gist’ of it. We also had a guest speaker Matthew Edwards, who came in to give us a demonstration and work with us through some example code. It was a very good pace and pitched perfectly for a total beginner like myself. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the results of my little programs. I also thoroughly enjoyed the group conversation afterwards. Jonathan introduced us to GPT chat. This is an advanced algorithmic program that can write highly intuitive essays from user text prompts. It can also write code. This week I’ve had lots to think about and explore. I have updated my ‘Zentangle’ gallery to reflect all of my little […]

Liquid Glass

A Touch Designer Tutorial – I know that time is against me if I want to become proficient at ‘Touch Designer’. Therefore, whenever I have an opportunity to experiment with a new tutorial I take it.  I also like to give a time-lapsed visual record of the time that I spend on projects like this.  I am particularly interested in time and I’m hoping that these time-lapse videos will make an interesting addition to my project work.   A 35 Second Time-lapse of a 1.5 Hour Tutorial       The Result of the Tutorial Now that the network design has been finalised, I am able to tweak numerous parameters in order to arrive at a result that I’m happy with.  Below is the final result once I made all of my adjustments.         Variation of a Theme Once I have created a base video, I always like to experiment further.  Below is a variation on the video above.  However, I do prefer the original above.  The liquid glass effect is much more vibrant and there are less distracting elements.  I still think that the experiment below was worth a try even though I don’t think it […]
