in-class assignment for 11/30

Use this random phrase generator to come up with a phrase you can like (note that it lets you control the level of common-ness/weirdness of the words). In Illustrator, create a relatively abstract composition that somehow conveys this phrase. Post that here with your name and the phrase as the caption. If you have time, do more than one. (Here are some Illustrator instructions / tips on Canvas.)

code as art (part 2) - recap

1. Sol Lewitt wall drawings “Even if the physical and visual manifestations of digital art distract from the layer of data and code, any “digital image” has ultimately been produced by instructions and the software that was used to create or manipulate it. It is precisely this layer of ‘code’ and instructions that constitutes a conceptual level which connects to previous artistic work such as Dada’s experiments with formal variations and the conceptual pieces by Marcel Duchamp, John Cage, and Sol LeWitt that are based on the execution of instructions.” (Christiane Paul)

2. Jim’ll Paint It (Tumblr) “My name is Jim and I paint pictures for people for free using Microsoft Paint. If there's something you'd like me to Paint for you send me a message. It can be absolutely anything at all so use your imagination. I read and consider every suggestion but only have time to paint my favourites.”

3. Photo Requests from Solitary “The project “Photo Requests from Solitary” … [offers] inmates held in solitary confinement a chance to ask for any image that they want, and to get their request fulfilled by professional photographers, artists. The inmates’ ideas range from the mundane to the elaborate—from a simple photo of a frog in its natural habitat, to an imaginary scene where a black man dramatically unshackles.”

4. John Whitney “Artwork consisting usually of film negatives of typography or rudimentary abstract patterns (clear images on an overall black field) could be orbited, rotated or moved in a great variety of compound sine function excursions within the twelve-inch light field. The camera was motorized to advance one frame automatically at the instant of the completion of one cycle of the artwork motion. […] The pattern that is produced, moving as it does, smoothly, and expanding outwardly, will continue to hold visual interest if only as a simple attractive abstract pattern.”

5. Harvey Moon’s drawing machines “That loss of communication and that failure for a machine to communicate properly is what I find exciting, and the randomness in which it produces these results."

6. Casey Reas and Ben Fry, creators of Processing “For us, the big idea of Processing is the tight integration of a programming environment, a programming language, a community-minded and open-source mentality, and a focus on learning -- created by artists and designers, for their own community. The focus is on writing software within the context of the visual arts. Many other programming environments embodied some of these aspects, but not all.”

7. Aaron Koblin, Flight Patterns (uses Processing) “The paths of air traffic over North America visualized in color and form.”

8. Kawandeep Virdee, huedoodle This project, like many of Virdee’s, uses p5, the browser-friendly offshoot of Processing that was masterminded by Lauren McCarthy.

9. Andrew Benson, Hills “A peaceful, undulating procedural environment to explore and go for a walk, built with WebGL.”

10. Electroboutique, Artomat “ARTOMAT.pro is a system for the automated production of art. Select an object, apply certain methods to it, combine it with another object, place it in an appropriate space, and your unique work is ready! … The ARTOMAT.pro works by employing algorithms akin to those described above and generating art in an automated or semiautomated mode. The viewer becomes a user-artist, creating genuine works of art to suit his or her own tastes.”
