Schaut man sich die Kunstwerke von Michael Murphy von vorne an erscheinen sie einem nicht wirklich spektakulär - tritt man allerdings zur Seite und betrachte das Ganze noch einmal, kommt man aus dem Staunen nicht mehr heraus.

Murphys Kunstwerke entstehen nämlich aus etlichen Schichten und ergeben durch geschicktens arrangieren ein homogenes Gesamtbild.

Eine bessere Übersicht, wie Murphys Arbeiten funktionieren, bekommst Du in diesem Video:

Picturing the creative process

The creative process changes by person and project, but there are obstacles and steps along the way that you tend to pass with each. Graphic designer Melike Turgut maps his own process. Start from the inside (research, reading, and learning), and make your way out (questions, ideas, and refinement).

Patch Schematics – The Aesthetics of Constraint / Best Practices [Theory]

Sun, 09 Oct 2011 15:05:55 +0200

Visual programming languages, languages that create programs by the manipulation of graphical elements, as opposed to specifying lines of text, have seen an increased popularity in recent years both in audio and video synthesis. Some of the more well-known environments, ones that are regularly used for projects that are featured on CAN, include VVVV (real-time motion graphics and physical IO) MAX/MSP (real-time music and multimedia), Pure Data (ostensibly an open source equivalent of MAX/MSP) and Quartz Composer (video synthesis for MAC).

Visual programming owes its many of its conventions for the representation of information and programs from Flowcharts – a lesser used term for these kinds of environments is Data-flow Programming. VPL’s date back to the late 60′s. A good example is the GraIL system (GRaphical Input Language) a flowchart language entered on a graphics tablet developed by the Rand Corporation in 1969.

Revealing the Facebook Social Graph in Physical Reality

Connections for Facebook [obscuradigital.com] developed by Obscura Digital was a physical installation demonstrated during F8, Facebook’s developer’s conference.

Conference attendees were identified through their RFID-enabled event badge, so the projected visualization could access their Facebook profiles. The radial bar graphs surrounding an attendee was dynamically constructed from that person’s complete graph data. Each blue bar represents a friends, a green bar maps to an interest, and the other colors represent various types of interests, such as books, movies, music, sports teams, arts, and so on. The connecting lines between people represent the shared connections, so that their relative density indicates the level of connectedness.

Vasco Mourao

Vasco Mourao is an architect and illustrator originally from Portugal who now lives and works in Barcelona. His densely illustrated cities and structures are drawn entirely by hand and while all are of course fictional places, they often incorporate real buildings. For instance, in the most dense piece above entitled New Yorker one can find the Chrysler building, the Met, the Whitney, and the Guggenheim among others—it’s like architectural Where’s Waldo! Another piece, Is it me or is Barcelona falling apart?, includes a wide variety of less iconic structures Mourao found around the city, and the last two illustrations are available as limited edition prints from his shop. Thanks for sharing your work with Colossal, Vasco!

Revoid.Js [Javascript]

We have a new feature javascript running on CAN: Revoid.js by Gwen Vanhee. Click top right corner button for demo.

Small experiments with the HTML5 canvas-element and javascript. Build from scratch to learn while playing and test javascript’s performance on mobile devices. Landscape is an animated 3D grid with a slowly fading trail, where user interaction creates infinite, always changing compositions. Terrain mapping takes image data from a picture and maps it to a 3D grid. The y-position of the gidpoints are based on color values (r+g+b). In Tiles a small 100×100 square is animated and tiled in the background, user interaction controls color and size of the circles. Patterns emerge when the circles are small enough (moving the mouse up and down).

Somehow efficient, but should not be considered as always true. And nice idea, indeed.

This is a nice idea. THEY is a creative agency in Amsterdam, and they are looking for an intern. They (hehe) have come up with a nice idea to get submissions. Using twitter they have posted three briefs that people can respond to. As the say on their twitter account… “a briefing should be brief. anything over 140 characters = bullshit. submit ur answer to a briefing as Reply or DM. best idea wins a 6mth paid internship”.

Californian Ideology by electroboutique

I didn’t remember this work by electroboutique. I really like the colourful pattern created by the chaotic mix of logos. This work (2008), was inspired by the well known essay Californian Ideology by Richard Barbrook and Andy Cameron. “In a convincing way they explain how modern creative info-capitalism coming out of Silicon Valley was built by former Californian hippies.

Slow hypnotic animations are put together out of transnational companies logos. Thus, the piece symbolizes the unity of capital and psychedelia, as well as that of consumerism and creativity. ” See more;

STB is an amazing ink drawing series created by Peter Jellitsch, Vienna. I really like their looks, remind me of some info-graphics.

Jellitsch tells us interesting information about this series;

STB means Streambody, this series is based on a motion algorithm that is used in architectural practice to simulate wind directions and the force of air that arrives at highrise buildings. I have experimented with this program, and the outcome was solid bubbles which I have then redrawn with the directions that they had. The degree denotation that my title has (for example: STB/S02/90°) is explaining the turn of the wind-force hitting the object.“ See more;

Peter Jellitsch is a a 29 year old phd student from Vienna where he did a master in architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Jellitsch is practicing somewhere between art, architecture and science.

"Generally I am trying to translate digital generated stuff into analog drawings. On one hand to see which differences appear between the digital outcome and the analog one, and on the other hand, i am interested in the repetitive movements that appear when i am reproducing from digital data. My work is always repititve in terms of sequences of one project. always a series of drawings, because most of my experiments are based on digital simulations.”

Russian digital artist Ruslan Khasanov (previously here and here), has continued his liquid type experiments by producing this wicked series of animated gifs called Liquid Type in Motion, showing what happens when he produces these beautifully organic letterforms. Almost looks like something that belongs in the opening credits for Se7ven. See more from the series here.

Happy Peppy Poster

I like this cool and stylized typography made from ribbons, previously scanned. Created by I LIKE BIRDS, a graphic design studio located in the Speicherstadt in the port of Hamburg. I also like their crafted and experimental way. They experiment with various mediums to develop customized and interesting solutions. I LIKE BIRDS is focused on transforming numerous types of information into a visual language which conveys the content in a more fluid and effective manner. “We put a lot of time and effort into creating a wide range of print products, including posters, books, illustrations, corporate identities and other visual works for cultural and public purposes.” See more;
