Fluid Motion Simulations and Artwork

Michael Shapcott - Part 2 Work in Progress (Graphite) I’ve always been fascinated with the idea of seeing into the future. Ultimately I feel that we are the creators of our own destiny but also that there is this mystery and force that is greater than ourselves simultaneously at work. It’s no doubt that our choices and actions help to create our future but how much is left to fate or to the great threads that link all of our lives into one? Perhaps most intriguing, is there a way to tap into and obtain a glimpse of what can or will happen to us? With these questions and ideas in mind, I decided to create this visual story of a girl who traveled a long distance and overcame many challenges to obtain an ancient power to see into the future. The girl in the painting is named Crystallina. The Death of Crystallina 24″ x 36″ Graphite/Acrylic/Oil on Canvas

Oscillon Astonishingly, oscillons of opposite phase will attract over short distances and form 'bonded' pairs. Oscillons of like phase repel. Oscillons have been observed forming 'molecule' like structures and long chains. In comparison, solitons do not form bound states. Stable interacting localized waves with subharmonic response were discovered and named oscillons at The University of Texas at Austin. The cause of this phenomenon is currently under debate; the most likely connection is with the mathematical theory of chaos and may give insights into the way patterns in sand form. The experimental procedure is similar to that used to form Chladni figures of sand on a vibrating plate. Oscillons have also been experimentally observed in thin parametrically vibrated layers of viscous fluid and colloidal suspensions. Nonlinear electrostatic oscillations on a plasma boundary can also appear in the form of oscillons. See also[edit] Cymatics References[edit] Further reading[edit]

Paul Villinski artwork > birds and butterflies birds and butterflies I am drawn to humble, yet evocative materials; in this case, crushed beer cans from the streets of New York - every one of them once raised to someone’s lips. My process of “recycling” them into images of butterflies is a quiet physical meditation, a yoga of tin snips and files and fingers.read more: • on beer can butterflies As the butterflies alight on the walls of my studio, they lead into an exploration of formal, painterly issues. Often, they want to gather into a certain shape, or fly off on a particular tangent, and I let them. They function both as marks in these abstract, three-dimensional “paintings,” and as actors in curious narratives. Butterflies seem impossible. ^ less

e - c l o u d Annual HI-FRUCTOSE Group Invitational Exhibit @ ROQ LA RUE | MonsterFresh.com Hi-Fructose magazine is, quite possibly, my favorite hard-copy art publication in print right now. It’s physical construction alone is worthy of admiration, feeling more like a work of art to be protected than a rag to toss carelessly in your bathroom. My last issue was actually delivered in a carefully packed box with a free CD and a viewmaster reel (feat. designer toy art by Sam Flores, Mark Ryden, Jeremy Fish, Luke Chueh, etc.). We’ve written about Kirsten in the past and addressed her tremendous contributions to both Seattle and the Pop-Surrealism/New Contemporary/low-brow art worlds as a whole. The following quotes/details come via the official press release and RoqLaRue.com: “Hi-Fructose Magazine is pleased to announce it’s 2011 group exhibition at Roq La Rue Gallery. The group of participating artists and styles are diverse.

openframeworks/openFrameworks - GitHub Newz On Fire NOTCOT.ORG Bernie Lubell´s talk at Ars Electronica Yeah! The return of the ars electronica posts. To be honest with you, this is going to be a messy time on wmmna. There are still tons of stories to write about Conflux, my little trips to Chelsea, to Beijing and there are a few more reports in store. Right, here's the notes i took during the talk given by Bernie Lubell as a winner of the Interactive Art category. Erkki Huhtamo, member of the jury this year, introduced the forum by explaining how people had been complaining that the interactive component of the winning works had not always been obvious over the past few years. There's no electronics involved in Lubell`s installation, just wood and pneumatic components. For Lubell, the winning work Conservation of Intimacy is all about having people physically involved, the body is part of the installation. The elaborate wood construction is modeled on a computer; human beings assume the role of the processors. Marey is famous for his research on chronophotography. Marey’s Sphygmograph

Child’s Head Molded in Clay Sculptor Eddy Prabandono used 25 tons of clay for his installation “Luz Series,” which is inspired by his daughter Luz. His work of art was exhibited at the Art Jog 11 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Photos © respective owners Link via Zeutch and My Modern Met
