Katherine Hua – Looking Outwards-09

I really liked Min Lee’s looking outwards blog post on this project called Skyline. Skyline is a code-based generative music video that uses Voronoi tessellation. Skyline’s systems have seeds that are categorized into different types of agents that represent a certain behavior or trigger transformations in appearance. The song’s audio spectrum or the animation sequence of the artist acts as the driver of these motions, creating beautiful patterns that come together to make a complex visual conclusion. I agree with how Min that this project is amazing in the way that the artist was able to create a visual representation of musical behavior through patterns of geometric shapes and inkblot-like figures. I’d like to add that I think it’s very interesting that throughout this music video, the shapes come together to form a figure of the vocalist or the face of the vocalist while the visual elements are moving with the sound of the instrumentals.
