Pierre Huyghe at Centre Pompidou, Paris / MOUSSE CONTEMPORARY ART MAGAZINE If you walk to the Centre Pompidou in Paris from the direction of the Seine, you will most likely end up in a little public square that stretches between the Beaubourg and the church of Saint-Merri: Place Igor Stravinsky. Here, in a shallow basin measuring 580 square meters, sixteen sculptures made in 1983 by Jean Tinguely and Niki de Saint Phalle entertain onlookers with their entirely whimsical demeanor, surfing along and spraying water at each other. The bright colors of the kinetic statues, the joy and lightheartedness of their movements, make the whole composition look like a sculptural spin-off of Disney’s Fantasia. But it wouldn’t have seemed so remarkably flawless had the administrators followed the original instructions left by Tinguely, who never wanted the water in the basin to be treated, as he preferred that moss eventually be allowed to grow (this did not happen, and the sculptures today looks almost identical to when they were unveiled exactly 30 years ago).

Water to Paper, Paint to Sky: The Art of Tyrus Wong | The Walt Disney Family Museum August 15–February 3, 2014 From August 15, 2013 to February 3, 2014, The Walt Disney Family Museum will present the exhibition Water to Paper, Paint to Sky: The Art of Tyrus Wong. Organized by Michael Labrie, the museum’s director of collections, the exhibition will focus on the life and work of Chinese-American artist Tyrus Wong—a celebrated painter, muralist, kite maker, lithographer, Hollywood sketch artist, calligrapher, ceramicist, and Disney Legend. At age 102, Wong is still a practicing artist today. This retrospective features more than 150 works including paintings, sculptures, works on paper, painted scarves, kites, and more. In 1938, Wong took a job at the Walt Disney Studios as an inbetweener, one who goes through the tedious process of making “in-between” drawings that filled out the movement of the characters between the animators’ key drawings. In 2001, Wong was named a Disney Legend, and his work continues to inspire and influence the leading animators of today.
Moonassi Official Website John Frame - Portland Art Museum Three Fragments of a Lost Tale Art, music, poetry, and film come together in John Frame’s ambitious project The Tale of the Crippled Boy. The end goal of this ongoing project is a feature-length collection of animated and live film vignettes. Since 2006, Frame, a California-based sculptor, has been working toward the creation of a stop-motion animated drama featuring an eclectic cast of fully articulated characters composed of found materials and meticulously carved wood. The exhibition will include the sculptures that have become the cast of characters in Frame’s evolving full-length film, as well as the film footage created thus far in this monumental project. To learn more about John Frame, visit www.johnframesculpture.com/portland. Originally organized by the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens; the exhibition is curated by Bruce Guenther, chief curator for its Portland presentation. Sponsored in part by The McGeady Family Foundation.

At the time, Milton was teaching at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, and he'd had a show of some of his paintings.

Anny Wang This Crazy Visual Symphony Is Like Being Inside a Computer, on Drugs The performance is scripted, but the performers on stage add their own flavor to the proceedings, like a musical performer. Ryoji Ikeda Microfiche, crossword puzzles, and Morse Code don’t sound like the makings of a compelling live performance, but in the hands of Japanese maestro Ryoji Ikeda, these mundane materials become the core of a dynamic audio-visual spectacle called Superposition. The hour-long performance is something like a high-tech rave with a year’s worth of high-school science class schizophrenically drawn upon as its raw material. Ikeda is best known for his experimental musical compositions with cryptic titles like +/-. Though it’s driven by software, Superposition is meant to be a human experience. Garin and Grould control Ikeda’s work through custom made “instruments.” A morse code key is repurposed as an artful instrument. Superposition artfully combines human and machine capabilities.

sans titre Introduction A while ago, I found something entitled Biomorphs, which appeared to be a bunch of random drawings created by some sort of computer program. I began investigating this a bit further, and found out this was actually the result of running a popular AI type program, which is carrying out an algorithm described by Richard Dawkins from his "The Blind Watchman" book, entitled BIOMORPHS. Dawkins investigated the possibilities inherent in just the combination of mutation and selection, when combined with a very powerful development (decoding) process. This is basically a recursive algorithm that has some genes and uses some mutation and some random selection. Dawkins Basic System The phenotypes (how it looks) in Dawkins system were essentially branching tree structures. The basic system has nine genes, controlling things like: angle of branching depth of branching number of lines etc. etc. It makes use of a recursive algorithm to carry out the drawing; this is shown below: Class Design
