The Act of Selecting Objectified .com

Jan Robert Leegte continues exploring the selection marquee through the website by putting it as an object. This new piece titled "The Act of Selecting Objectified" it's probably the evolution of selectionasanobject.com where every time you refresh the page it appears a new rectangular selection, this time the user interact with the work by creating a new selection. 

Late last year he also made another minimal and great concept using the selection marquee but in connection with a random imagery source which contextualizes what we see in Photoshop everyday, check it out here. Jan Robert Leegte is being quite productive online lately, I recommend to see on his website some other good works he created this year. See more;

Joshua Hopping

This is an untitled piece made by Joshua Hopping using elements from one of my favorite GUI aesthetics, the aqua user interface from macintosh, how beautiful are those scroll bars which Lion killed!

Jasper Elings

Damn! the work of Jasper Elings wasn't published directly here despite I'm a huge fan of him from long time ago. I'm sure you already know some of his pieces or at least have seen something while surfing the internet as Jasper's work has been highly viral. His simple but great concepts are usually based on the internet culture as you can see on the selection of pieces into the post which probably were created 2 years ago. Jasper is lately quite focused on 3D animation as I saw what he is sharing on fb but of course continuing with the same sense of humor than his previous works and animated gifs which some of them have thousand of notes, have a look to his tumblr.

Cloud Face by Shinseungback Kimyonghun

Cloud Face, 2012 by Shinseungback Kimyonghun_
"Human sees figures in clouds: animals, faces and even god. This kind of perception also appears in computer vision. Face-detection algorithms sometimes find faces that are not. It is because human’s knowledge of a face and understanding of human vision mechanisms affect the development of the computer vision.

‘Cloud Face’ is a collection of cloud images that are recognized as human face by a face-detection algorithm. It is a result of computer’s vision error, but they look like faces to human eyes, too. This work attempts to examine the relation between computer vision and human vision." - Shinseungback Kimyonghun. See more;

Jennifer Steinkamp

Glimpse - Single Channel DVD - 1997

Jennifer Steinkamp is an installation artist who works with video and new media in order to explore ideas about architectural space, motion, and perception.

These are some installations from late 90's and beginning 2000's where Jennifer Steinkamp projected different spaces with her abstract and colorful animated art works. It's very interesting and inspiring to see all the different kind of textures and forms she has animated along her carrier even three-dimensional based environments from early 90's.
I couldn't link each work because her website doesn't provide individual url for each piece but I highly recommend to visit Jennifer Steinkamp's website as she has almost all the works documented through video (quicktime) check out them here, and also another animated small works like the still image above can be seen here.

DW∞ Simulation 01

DW∞ Simulation 01 is a piece part of Different Ways To Infinity: Chaos (Fluid Dynamics) which at the same time is part of a bigger project called "Different ways to infinity" a science fiction artwork using a variety of media. The installation proposes a collection of archives from an imaginary scientific laboratory. It is composed of 3 parts: parts 1 and 2 are inspired by chaos theory and approach infinity through complexity; part 3 is an "infinite space filling" generative sculpture. A collaboration work between Félix Luque and Iñigo Bilbao.  See more;

Floe

Floe is a kinetic glass sculpture created by four artists and designers from different backgrounds and professions from the Royal College of Art, London; Lida Marinkova (mixed media and textiles), Ozgun Kilic (animation), Oluwaseyi Sosanya (innovation design engineering), Pierre Paslier (innovation design engineering).

"The piece is inspired by formations and movement found in nature, it embodies the shape and movement of ice drifting on the surface of the North Atlantic. The glass structure is combined with a simple wave movement and light bringing life to the piece. An interactive element was essential to the project; the audience influences the movement and light intensity with their presence." See more;

Christophe Lepot

Very interesting work and visual studies made by Christophe Lepot using Processing. Several of his pieces are pixel based compositions which are created and distorted pixel by pixel. It's great to see these experiments as huge formats around 10.000 pixel width and in some other pieces it's possible to see an animation showing the distortion process. Interesting also his "espaces couleurs" and archives from 2004-2007. See more;

Jeremy Couillard

Programming Pyramids

Jeremy Couillard has been working in his new project "My Time in the Cult of Melting Ancestors" for around a year. Jeremy has created diverse number of pieces, including a great 19 min. video you can watch into the post, several acrylic paintings, and kinetic sculptures which are connected together with the video and are all controlled by a plinth in the center of the exhibition at Louis B James in NY,  a solo show that will be running til next May 31, 2013.
