Vilde Rolfsen – Inspired Work

Beautiful Destruction – For a few weeks now I have been wrestling with ideas for my research statement.  Ideally I would like to integrate some form of current affairs or pressing agenda into my work but I wasn’t quite sure how to approach this.  I then remembered a shoot I’d done a little while ago. I stumbled across an artist called Vilde Rolfsen. I found her plastic bag landscapes absolutely fascinating. Not only was her idea clever it was also visually very appealing. Her images are certainly creative.  There’s just something special about taking such a mundane object like a plastic bag and transforming it into an amazing landscape.  Below is a small gallery of her images.   Vilde Rolfeson – Plastic Bag Landscape   Responses to Vilde Rolfeson I felt that Vilde Rolfeson had produced something truly unique. However, inspired by her idea I wanted to use her imagery as a base to experiment further. I was also keen to incorporate elements of animation and time into my experimentation as this ties in heavily with my theme.  Most of Vilde Rolefson’s plastic bag imagery is light and bright, therefore I decided to take a slightly darker approach. I wanted […]

Refik Anadol – Production and Destruction

Refik Anadol Inspired Responses At the beginning of this project I began to examine the possibilities created by Ai generated imagery.  I likened Ai to something that had tentacle-like structures.  I imagined that these tentacles were expanding and steadily weaving their way into all aspects of our lives.  After discovering the work of Refik Anadol, It is clear to see that Ai generated imagery and data visualisation are becoming firmly rooted in the art world. The work of Refik Anadol is truly breathtaking.  He is clearly a pioneer in the field of digital art.  Below is a video containing examples of his work along with an interview with him talking about his art.     Refik Anadol – His Work and Thoughts about Ai Generated Imagery       Art Piece Responses to Refik Anadol In his interview Refik makes references to the futuristic classic film ‘Blade Runner’.  Through his work he imagines what Ai might look like when it is dreaming.  He affords human like qualities to the machine learning that he is observing.  Following this line of thinking I wanted to imagine what Ai might look like as it grows and then dies.   The following pieces are […]

Disasters and Projects

Turning Negatives into Positives – This week has not been a great week at all! Restful and relaxing is certainly not what I could would have called it.  I needed to migrate my existing WordPress blog to a new server, so that going forward  I can have unlimited file uploads.  Over the last couple of months I have been continually filling up my disc space allowance, therefore things had to change.   The technical support from my hosting company was initially quite good and on the surface it looked as if my website migration had gone smoothly.  Unfortunately this was not the case!   I found that I was unable to log in, I could no longer preview my drafts and my search box was no longer working, and if that wasn’t enough my categories were not displaying properly.  To add further insult to injury the tech support team also ‘bailed’ out.  Essentially on a scale of 1 to 10 things weren’t as bad as they could have been.  For example I could have deleted the whole of my website, or messed up my WordPress theme to the point it was unworkable.  However I would still place the disruption at […]

Too Cold!

Lissajous Curves and Cold Weather – I mentioned in an earlier blog that due to lack of disk space on my hosting package I would need to upgrade my hosting.  This is always a tense time when moving files from one server to another.  For this reason I needed to come up with a foolproof method of backing up my blog.   In the past numerous backups have failed for me (files lost, media libraries lost, databases lost etc.), therefore I knew I couldn’t solely rely on this.  However under my reflective planning it was on my todo list to think of an easy but effective way of getting around data loss.  I came up with the idea of taking screenshots of my blog.  This means that in the event of any data loss all I have to do is insert the screen shot and add any live links (genius!) and it works.    Unfortunately when my blog was moved this particular post completely disappeared.  However the process of taking a screen shot meant I can quickly post up images of the original post and add in the relevant link.  Below is my original post added from screen shots.  I’d […]

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 […]
