Looking Outwards 05: 3D Computer Graphics

The project I have chosen for this blog post is “Artifacts of the Noisefield: Advection of points based on a math noise” by the artist ChaoticAtmospheres. According to the artist, the goal of the piece was to explore noise advection, which is the displacement of a point according to a mathematical equation. Starting with simple shapes, ChaoticAtmospheres used a computer algorithm to visually represent noise in 3-dimensional graphics. The resulting images are beautiful. They have clear resemblances to images in nature (especially insects). This comparison brings to light the deep connection between nature’s reaction to waves and the way humans can manipulate and use waves to produce entirely new artifacts of art & science. I admire the artist’s use of sound in their visual work, and their use of digital programming to bring the concept to life.

One image from the portfolio that was created for this project. “The final shape is composed of the trails describing the trajectory of each point in time.”
