Void | solaas.com.ar
The subject of this work is blankness, emptiness and vacuity. Mainly, the physical concept of vibration of void or dark energy , which holds that countless particles are created and destroyed by quantum fluctuations in absolute void, and the idea of trace or phantom as remainder of things that were present and are not there any more. This is a generative application that shows the vanishing paths of many particles as they flow over the landscape of pictures of empty spaces. It pushes further the exploration on automated drawing using a swarm of autonomous agents initiated by Dreamlines .
The Generator.x 3.0: From Code to Atoms workshop at iMAL, Brussels culminated last Friday in an exhibition of works created during the week. As expected there is a wide range of works and expressions, from Makerbot’ted data sculptures ( Frederik Vanhoutte , Andrej Boleslavsky , Katerina Konstantopoulos + Erato Choli ) to distorted 3D scanned objects ( Matthew Plummer-Fernandez ) and parametric paper folding ( Julien Deswaef ). For a complete overview of the workshop and its results, take a look at the Flickr tag “GX30″ which currently covers over 1000 uploads. Another important resource is iMAL’s wiki site Wikimal , which includes source code and tutorials published in connection with the workshop. Some participants have also published their own source code, such as Corneel Cannaert’s release of his Processing code to directly output G-code for Makerbot control.

The Game of Life , also known simply as Life , is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970. [ 1 ] The "game" is a zero-player game , meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input. One interacts with the Game of Life by creating an initial configuration and observing how it evolves.

'Letizia Alvarez de Toledo has observed that this vast library is useless: rigorously speaking, a *single volume* would be sufficient, a volume of ordinary format, printed in nine or ten point type, containing an infinite number of infinitely thin leaves. (In the early seventeenth century, Cavalieri said that all solid bodies are the superimposition of an infinite number of planes). The handling of this silky *vade mecum* would not be convenient: each apparent page would unfold into other analogous ones; the inconceivable middle page would have no reverse.'

Graphic elements are divided up into categories that describe their function and general appearance. These categories are head, thorax, abdomen, wings, antennae, and legs. The legs are further grouped into femur, tibia, tarsus, and claw categories.
nathaniel stern : Given Time, networked installation and continuous performance, February 2010
Given Time simultaneously activates and performs two permanently logged-in Second Life avatars, each forever and only seen by and through the other. They hover in mid-air, almost completely still, gazing into one another’s interface. Viewers encounter this networked partnership as a diptych of large-scale and facing video projections in a real world gallery, both exhibiting a live view of one avatar, as perceived by the other. To create a visceral aesthetic, these custom-designed and life-sized “bodies” are hand-drawn in subtly animated charcoal, graphite and pastel.
Nils Völker - Variations on Pi
"Variations on Pi" is a limited edition of 50 unique light paintings. Each one of these paintings is based on a different range of consecutive decimal places of the number pi (3,14159... the mathematical constant which is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter). Whilst a Machine, equipped with 16 LEDs, moves around a time exposure photo is taken from above. The digits define if and where a circle is drawn but also the colours and angles. All together 3861 decimal places were used to create the whole edition.Context Free Art

strix.org.uk :: photography :: Falling with the Rain
When you dream that you're falling, do you have a moment when you realize you're falling, but aren't yet screaming in terror at the concrete and trees rising up to smash you? Do you ever notice if you are the only thing thats falling, or is there debris and other people? Or rain? It's well known that money can make us autonomous. But how to act if one doesn't have money?Frank Popper Interview / Introduction
Origins of Virtualism: An Interview with Frank Popper Conducted by Joseph Nechvatal. This is the entire unedited interview that appeared in the Spring 2004 issue of the CAA Art Journal pp. 62 — 77 (images by Josph Scheer, Matthias Groebel, Michael Rees and Victoria Vesna). www.collegeart.org The interview was begun June 17 th , 2003 Paris and concluded July 28 th , 2003 Paris. Joseph Nechvatal : Frank, you are, without doubt, a scarcity. Anyone who looks at the historical record of the juncture of art and technology finds you nearly unaccompanied when it comes to documenting this historical record between the years of the late-1960’s up to the early 1990s.On May 28th, 2001, I [Eryk Salvaggio] arranged to sell my personal hate through online auctioneer, ebay. What follows is the original message [There is an exact replica of the ebay page located here ] followed by the emails, and answers, that took place as a result before the auction was terminated by ebay.com for violation of its elusive "policies." Highest Bidder recieves the utmost of contempt from the seller. From the date of its reception, I will require your name and address. From the time I recieve this information, I will consider you with disgust, hate, and malice.

I am an artist, designer and technologist based in Cape Town, South Africa. I've recently returned to South Africa after five years in Dublin, Ireland, where I completed a multi-disciplinary PhD in the School of Engineering at Trinity College, Dublin. You can read a January 2006 biography about my career up until I started my PhD, on the South African art website ArtThrob . Read more about my projects in general below.
