Here I’m playing with doing generative still artwork in processing.
Jettyjacks from mediapathic on Vimeo.
Along the floodplain of the Rio Grande, there are these structures, known as “Jetty jacks”. They’re essentially a series of I-beams strung together with rust, cable, and antipathy. They’re there to prevent flood debris from encroaching on nearby territories. In the eyes of a photographer like my dear associate sinnarko they become architecture and pure form; after they reach my hands they become this.

Demo Reel – Jan 09 from mediapathic on Vimeo.
This is my Demo Reel as of Jan 09. It’s mostly either material I made for live performance, or actual recordings of those sets. Most of it is generative, with the obvious exception of the logo work. Software used includes Quartz Composer, VVVV, Processing, and After Effects. The music is the track “ants” by eDIT (whom I highly recommend checking out- all of his stuff is this great). Enjoy!
All noise is intentional. If your computer crashes, I did that on purpose, too.
Think of it as Pacifist Asteroids. Continue reading →
