![[OLD FALL 2019] 15-104 • Introduction to Computing for Creative Practice](wp-content/uploads/2020/08/stop-banner.png)
For this week, I looked at Jenny Lee’s Looking Outward-07 article focused on Refik Anadol and his project Melting Memories. Refik is a computational media artist who blurs the lines between computation and installation-based digital art.

Like Jenni, I am also completely fascinated by Refik’s algorithmic methods and uses of brain data. It’s always really incredible to see the thought process behind certain projects and this was one of them. I was also in love with the way Refik decided to actually render the information in visual graphics. The forms are so elegant and natural, but so clearly computational.
Below are screenshots of data used in the project. Seeing the backend of Refik’s practices is really inspiring to analyze.
