MOCA 6

San Base was born in 1956 in the former Soviet Union, where he developed a strong interest in mathematics and computer technology. In 1996 he immigrated to Canada where he now lives. He calls his art Dynamic Painting, a painting changed with time, as new images are generated from an original image. It was an idea that took eight years of dedication and perseverance to realize. So his art is always a variation on a theme.

He writes, "The artist creates the basic idea of the picture (plot, esthetics), basic colours, basic principles of their development. Then a computer works on the picture's individuality, adding more variations and fluctuations of the basic elements and letting them develop with time: the picture living its own life with objects moved and transformed but still following the original artist's concept. This method is a dynamic form of Generative Art...Once static, the [original] picture is now transformed into a never-ending show with images being [replaced] hour by hour, day by day, month by month. None of the images repeat previous ones and will never repeat again." .

Janet Parke-MOCA

The Title of this piece is "Klemmblu" by Janet Parke. She is well-known in the Fractal community and is one of the first user's of Ultra Fractal. She created many of the online-tutorials for Ultra Fractal and was one of the first to master the program. Ms. Parke has won many prizes and her prints have been exhibited and collected worldwide. This piece was created on Ultra Fractal.

Fractals

I've included the first try and the ones that got better with practice. Very interesting and fun to do!

Fun with Fractals

Creating these was interesting and fun

Charline Lancel

 
Charline was born in Belgium in1976 and now lives in Brussels. She is an artist and photographer and has an eye for abstract shapes. She is inspired by the work`s of Vasarely and Mondrian and she has recently created a colletion of colorful abstract compositions printed on chromaluxe.

Very interesting designs

Myriam Di Maio

There is not a whole lot of information on Miriam online. But this is fractal art, as is the rest of her work. She creates all her art using online free programs much like the ones we use in class.

Algorithmic, mathematical and fractal art

These artists employ mathematical or algorithmic programs to draw their art. Many use programs available publicly, but some are themselves mathematicians and programmers who draw images by writing their own code. Some artists are purists, who publish their art exactly as the computer draws them to screen. Others engage in so-called post-processing, wherein the image is enhanced or manipulated, to a greater or lesser degree, to serve the purposes of the artist.

week 5

Ron Sangha created this piece, it is titled "Empty load". Ron considers himself a rebel who is exploring originality, boldness, and simplicity. He uses software, camera, digital tablet, and pen to create his pieces. Ron states that his upbringing compels him to explore cultures and perspectives. He enjoys using vivid colours and creating striking compositions. This piece seems to be telling a story about a journey, there is one horse that stands out more then the other horses he also doesn't have a 'passenger', which could be why this painting is titled "Empty load".

Off Topic

As I mentioned early on, I am taking this class to gain skills and experience to improve my websites.  All of this work with shapes has motivated me to experiment with some different design ideas. I hope you don't mind, I wanted to share some things I have been working on.

I have found several very simple and useful shape building tutorials on YouTube. It helped me create a bowl in these:

and I was aiming for vintage stamp in this one:

Let me know what you think!

I know we are on a different curriculum, but I have really enjoyed the assignments I have had and seeing the variety of things everyone is posting.

Week Five, Combinatorics

This week's assignment was to work with quarter circle segments and "Combinatorics". Basically, combining portions of a circle within a grid to create different designs.
