“Real Body Meets Data Body” is part of Dragulescu’s Data Ghosts series. This painting, like others in this series, is created through software development creating a visual array of dots. The picture itself shows a person walking through what appears to be an obstacle course with a weapon in their hands. I really admire the message behind the piece: the shifting relationship between man and technology. He raises questions concerning technological addictions and ethics. I also appreciate how it harmonizes with the other pieces in his Data Ghosts series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artist does not go into specifics on what program they used to develop the art, only saying: “ His projects bridge multiple computational domains including information visualization, social media design, and computer games…” (Dragulescu). The program looks to have specific lines to develop the relative shape and then a command to fill in between spaces randomly with a certain number of dots. I assume he utilized functions like “random()”. Dragulescu’s artistry appears in the unique shapes he computes and his mastery over three-dimensional computation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
