Neri Oxman

E,X,Y,Z,S,S,T and Fatemaps are two impressive generative sculptures made by Neri Oxman in 2008.

"The physical features of natural tissues express the distribution and magnitude of the forces that have brought them about. These forces embody the complex relations between physical matter in its given environment and denote its multi-dimensional force field. The work explores the notion of material organization as it is informed by structural load and environmental conditions. Natural micro-structural 2-D tissues are visualized, analyzed and reconstructed into 3-D macro-scale prototypes by computing hypothetical physical responses." See more;

Thirozumi's tumblr

Tumblr is one of the free platforms most I like because it is very customizable, it can be used as you really want, even from a blank html. I'm lately seeing several tumblrs which feature interesting themes. I just found this one by Thirozumi, to be honest in the beginning I didn't know what I was seeing, I only noticed about the colored diagonals and the cool visual effect by scrolling down or right. Then I went to its archive to see the single posts and what kind of content had there. On the archive there are normal pictures from reblogs or posts but if you click on whatever picture you go to a single colored diagonal, so this tumblr shows all the content published on in that diagonal and deformed way, I really like it, it's like two projects in one, a personal research and an abstract colored visualization from all that research.

Koen Delaere

This latest work by Koen Delaere is really beautiful, I'm loving the color palette used for each different gradient. Koen has made this work for featuring it on NOVA Festival which has started 2 days ago in Sao Paulo at MIS. This work consists in a bunch of printed stuff which will be the background for an "upcoming" new work, he explains a little bit more about; "I made some background silkscreenprints on double A0-sized paper at the GAD Eindhoven , pouring inks freely in the screen. With my friend Bas operating the squeegee and me folding the papers and (half-)controlling the colours." See more;

Daniel Temkin

Daniel Temkin makes still and interactive pieces stemming from different forms of miscommunication, often built as uneasy collaborations with the computer. I'm featuring two of his projects which are related with glitches and errors produced by the use of basic softwares such as Photoshop. The first one is called Glitchometry, Daniel describes; each image begins as one or a few black squares or circles. They are sonified -- imported into an audio editor. Sound effects are added to individual color channels, as if they were sound, transforming the image. Because the tool is used in an unconventional way, there is no immediate way to monitor the effect. The image manipulator has a sense of what each effect does, but no precise control over the result. It is a wrestling with the computer, the results of which are these images. See more;

GOD KNOX by KOKOFREAKBEAN

KOKOFREAKBEAN tells us about his new chaotic work;
"GOD KNOX is my gentle, fart-like blitz of a myth revolving around the creation of divinities. It begins with a zesty summoning ritual betwixt several tranny shamans and ends with a personal nirvana. After becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the 2D jigsaw flatness of my previous work, I intended this project to feature more three-dimensional environments and slightly more protracted pacing. This new emphasis allowed me to dwell on compositions and apply more new techniques than ever before. I must declare that I am tempted to disown, mutilate, hambone, and honor kill most of my previous video work due to the healthily robust quality of the mental boner induced by my buxom new video animal, but I will resist that urge as long as infanticide strikes me as distasteful. Please enjoy and spread my sweet beast to the farthest corners of this diseased multiverse so that it may heave and splinter towards something approximating infinity. And blah blah blah." See more;

A Wind God’s Passage to the Funeral Games

"A Wind God’s Passage to the Funeral Games" is the title for one of the latest works of Yoshi Sodeoka. This short is a component of a longer video work called Sibyl, created in collaboration with composer Daron Murphy to be released later this year. If you know well Yoshi's works you will notice there are some few small clips from his older films, as he told us the idea behind is that this video shows a quick flashback/daydream sequence of the whole project.

Carlo Bernardini

Carlo Bernardini creates fiber optics installations. Bernardini uses the fiber optic since 1996, to transform dark spaces into abstract light environments. His site-specific installations are based on triangular forms, which lines passes through walls, floors, façades and they may be seen floating between buildings. Each installation has its own precise viewpoint, from which it can be seen as a two-dimensional rhomboidal form. Bernardini also works combining steel and optic fibers, to built permanent public sculptures in stainless.

Maschinezeit (re-edit) by Aaron Chan

Maschinezeit (re-edit) is a glitchy physical environment created by Aaron Chan. For this project Aaron was approached by choreographer/publisher Jeanne-Salomé Rochat about editing some footage she had. Aaron says for Dazed & Confused "Jeanne-Salomé gave me a loose guideline of wanting bodies to virtually multiply in space, and to connect that with the clothing and the exhibition/museum space somehow... For the parts where it gets really weird on screen it was animated frame by frame, so this film took longer to make than anything else I've worked on in my short career."

Lambeaux by Nicolas Boillot

Lambeaux is a work in progress by Nicolas Boillot, who is studying a Ph.D in audiovisual aesthetic in the LARA, a research laboratory of the university of Toulouse, France. This work is part of his thesis which is focused on the remix in digital art. Nicolas is making real time video installation using Openframeworks. 

In “Lambeaux”, the television stream is taken as raw material, a material lacerated by a process of motion capture which extract in real time all the pixel that have changed during the broadcast. Those fragments are captured and recast, in a spatial-temporal way, on a twenty-four images loop. See more (the following GIFs are quite heavy, wait to load them please);

Idle Speculation by Aaron Rothman

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;

Marine Hugonnier

Marine Hugonnier is working since 2004 on "Art for Modern Architecture" a still ongoing  collage series which investigates the role of the image by obstructing the press images on the front page of a week’s worth of newspapers such as The New York Times, The Times, Die Tageszeitung, Le Monde, The Herald Tribune, The Neue Zürcher Zeitung and Al Ayaam, all of them have been created making lots of cutouts from the book titled "Line Form Color" by Ellsworth Kelly.

Mysterious Structures - China's Gobi Desert

See on Google Maps

These images show mysterious compositions and structures which seem to be a kind of paintings (not sure if it's painting), and installations over the Earth, they are exactly in the Gobi Desert, China. They were found the last month at Google Maps. See more;

RGB Transition

RGB Transition is a great minimalist piece created by Timothy Evans in collaboration with Daniel Eatock. They used only three colors; R, G, and B, and then 50 common video transitions to animate it. I really love this simple way and powerful result!

"A video image consists of three primary components - red, green and blue. For this work each component channel was fed a differently timed sequence of 50 common video transitions. As the three components recombine to create a video image; constantly changing forms and colours are revealed." See more;

Melanie Authier

Melanie Authier, 1980, Montreal_ 

"Melanie Authier's paintings bring together visual contradictions into one imaginary space. By drawing upon the histories of abstraction and the strategies of representation, she presents improbable environments. A sense of disorientation comes about through the way in which colour, texture, line and shape compete for room within the canvas. Each work presents a brimming jostle of oppositions that the viewer is invited to bring into a certain order." See more;

Grant Miller

Grant Miller
"My work is, at its core, the depiction of a contemporary dialogue. The process of constructing these paintings mirrors the construction of history. Furthermore, it depicts the hectic pace in which we gather and edit information in present society. I start with architectural interiors, symbols, and marks that represent accumulated forms of information, interaction, and memories. Once these marks are laid, there is a continuous reaction to the previous information. I use a combination of structures, and an illustrative and expressive vocabulary that is inherent to painting, as elements to formally define space and express the intersections of a complicated society. Much, if not all of the early information is completely covered, and the viewer is left with a painting that has been continually built upon the previous action or mark, as well as an image that reflects the nuances and complexity of the contemporary society in which we live. The paintings are a reconstruction of a physical history which plays out the layers of the work. In society as in these paintings you can see through to some of the early influences, while some are completely invisible but necessary to the finality of each piece." See more;

Californian Ideology by electroboutique

I didn't remember this work by electroboutique. I really like the colourful pattern created by the chaotic mix of logos. This work (2008), was inspired by the well known essay Californian Ideology by Richard Barbrook and Andy Cameron. "In a convincing way they explain how modern creative info-capitalism coming out of Silicon Valley was built by former Californian hippies. 

Slow hypnotic animations are put together out of transnational companies logos. Thus, the piece symbolizes the unity of capital and psychedelia, as well as that of consumerism and creativity. " See more;

“Dreaming Machine #1″ (Prototype) 2008 by Ben Bogart

"Can a machine dream?

Dreams are a complex interaction between our bodies, minds, memories, and experiences. “Dreaming Machine” is a trajectory of site-specific artistic works exploring the topic of dreaming. “Dreaming Machine #1″ (prototype) is the first in the series. During the day, the work examines its visual context. Stimulus from the visual context inspires day dreams through its experience. At night the work freely associates elements of its experience and presents them to the audience." See more;

Roman Opałka

"In 1965, in his studio in Warsaw, Roman Opałka began painting a process of counting – from one to infinity. Starting in the top left-hand corner of the canvas and finishing in the bottom right-hand corner, the tiny numbers were painted in horizontal rows. Each new canvas, which the artist called a 'detail', took up counting where the last left off. Each 'detail' is the same size (196 x 135 cm), the dimension of his studio door in Warsaw. All details have the same title, "1965 / 1 – ∞"; the concept had no end, and the artist pledged his life to its execution: 'All my work is a single thing, the description from number one to infinity. A single thing, a single life.'" See more;

He finds comfort in the temporal lapses that digital images can hold. See more;

Katharine Harvey

"Katharine Harvey’s paintings explore the mobile and dimensional qualities of light. Known for her paintings of water, storefront displays and reflections, Harvey’s latest works also depict electricity as a visual presence. Building images amidst thick layers of clear acrylic paint, she echoes the distortive, fluid properties of water and glass. These paintings achieve a prismatic beauty through the illusion of depth and layers of vibrant colours. Like live wires, these playful optical effects channel the visual energy of elemental forces and their abstract rhythm." - Nicholas Metiver Gallery. See more;
