I wanted to do something really simple for this project. I was getting too caught up with all the different extravagant ways I could approach this assignment, so I decided I would not do anything high tech at all.  I basically messed up a double for loop and noticed that it looked a bit like a hand-drawn hill/horizon line. I think I have been wanting more and more to do something that looks like it comes from my hand, and this felt closer to having a material quality.

 

I started with these, and I’m not sure which I like better at the moment. Overall, I think I like this work. It’s extremely simple, code-wise and visually, but it felt like a return to letting go with my art and not really thinking too hard about it.

bookooBread – Looking Outwards

This is a “procedurally-generated vector-format infinitely-scrolling Chinese landscape for the browser.” I’ve always been really drawn to this project of LingDong’s. This style of painting is one of my favorite’s and for him to be able to recreate it so beautifully using code is just amazing. He captures the nuance of the style so well from far away, it would be hard to tell if it was digital at all. His work tends to make you forget the technicality and the technology that was used to make it. I think that is why I love this project (and his work in general) so much. While I don’t see myself necessarily doing this exact type of work in the future,  I am very inspired by the attention to detail and the way he so effortlessly immerses the viewer… You just get lost in the experience and the beauty. That is the type of work I want to create.
