There is this generative artist and software developer Lulu xXX who created this work of art called “Take me to the moon”. I don’t know how long it took them to make it but they design intimate and feminine artwork focusing on using 3D modeling and CGI. They build their own tools using custom/open-sourced code. They focus on beauty and iconography, which uses these visual images and symbols and helps us study the interpretation of them. Further, they use “optical flow analysis” to capture motion in their art and start generating this pixel aesthetic. I think this type of computational art is super important in understanding how activism and aesthetics and technology work together. Especially in modern times, its further important to look at how we can express women and cultures in a way that’s expressive and beautiful.
