“cclchh” by Manolo ide

This piece to me by Manolo ide just was really visually fascinating to me because of the almost topographical nature of the gradient shapes. I really like the almost optical illusion nature of this piece and how it feels almost three dimensional, when I first looked at this I just imagined myself laying down on top of this image. Very nice.

I also found this project by Zach Lieberman that I found really beautiful, I don’t know if it is generative but the way this project plays with typography is gorgeous to me, especially the way the texts organically disintegrates.

Manolo Gamboa Naon’s “a02”

I chose this project by Manolo Gamboa Naon because I just love the idea of trying to replicate Earth’s complicated and beautiful nature through technology. I appreciate this piece’s intricate details and the amounts of layering that occurred. I love the complementary colors of red and green that contrast each other beautifully, and the layering of artifacts creates almost a visible texture.

I chose Helena Sarin’s work, as I like how the work represents human taste, while taking advantage of the computational medium. The organic lines and composition makes you believe that this was a doodle, but the intricate ‘maze’ in each blob was made possible through the precision of a computer.

I enjoy simple and honest graphical forms, and this piece seems to achieve that in an interesting way.

Adaptations

Any visual that can make my mind wonder all the things that it could be always will have a special place in my heart. It makes me think: what is what is adapting? Is it my eyes or is it the artwork? I truly enjoy watching Sophia’s exploration of artificial lifeforms and nature itself.

I chose Zackery Lieberman’s artwork, which he used OpenFrameworks to create. I find this piece to be extremely intriguing and beautiful. The way how the moving body interacts with computationally designed graphics is truly fascinating.
