LO2 – Generative Art

LIA’s SV01, SV15, SV04, SV08 was a generative art installation at One Culver creative space, Culver City, California, displayed on 2018/07/01 – 2018/09/30 and 2018/07/01 – 2018/12/31. Most of her contract work seems to be displayed on a large screen in large, public areas. The large scale of LIA’s art is what inspires me– it commands just the right amount of presence and has the impact to elevate the space to feel more high-end and dynamic. Though the reel showcases moving pictures that involve both angular and more fluid, blob-like shapes, they all complement the architectural elements of the space and serves as both an aesthetically-pleasing side piece but also a moment for visitors to be present in the space and admire the artwork. 

I believe the algorithm that generated the work is probably dependent on layers and has a flexible system that controls transparency. Semi-transparent layers crossing over each other at a more-or-less constant pace are a recurring element in LIA’s work. LIA’s artistic sensibilities are very present in her work, as she must create a piece of work that not only matches but elevates the experience of a large space. It is functional in that way, but it is also a very abstract concept that she must translate into a tangible product.
