Looking through insanely cool “Johnny Cash Project” was really interesting and fun for me. I admired how it used generative art to create a story told by real people, real fans across the world that were touched by this person. Aaron Koblin and the team were able to create an interactive website that helped make a crops-sourced music video. Any visitor on the website was able to paint their vision on any frame of the music video. This was then turned into an animated music video which garnished many awards and honors. I think it’s interesting to see how generative art can take the place in so many forms. Aaron Koblin is known for his work using data visualization in which he did a phenomenal job with this project remembering a great artist. Something really interesting is that the music video continues to grow as more people continue to participate.
