F-20

I found an installment that, using data as an input, creates a unique (and in my opinion, quite hectic) audiovisual. This stood out to me because it seems to combine the intervention project and the data visualization project. Other iterations of this project can be found on the artist’s website

I stumbled upon this designer who manipulates digital footage in an attempt to play with the viewer’s perception of space and time. In his video “Phantom Ride” he does this through taking the viewer through may different scenes on a train track, making it as if they are experiencing (in Read more…

https://www.fastcompany.com/90573026/inside-the-wild-design-of-the-playstation-5?ref=sidebar Was an interesting piece that gave readers a peek into the inspiration behind the design of the PS5 as well as the reasons for why it was designed the way it was; I personally find it way more aesthetic than the Xbox as well, so I think that it’s Read more…

I am really fascinated by our recent work in the space between code and art. Both are areas I am incredibly interested in, and I had no idea platforms like Processing existed where one can actually “code” art. Data visualization is one area which also combines computer science and art. Read more…

I recently watched the documentary Franca Sozzani’s son made of his mother called Franca: Chaos and Creation. I had never even heard of the name Franca Sozzani, but after watching the documentary, I was entranced and enamored by this woman. She was Editor in Chief of Vogue Italia and throughout Read more…

Super modern and I feel like it’d be so dope if other countries could adopt a more modern approach as well – passports can also be art in Read more…

https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2020/11/playfulness-code-supercharge-fun-learning/?ref=sidebar Thought that this was highly relevant to what we’ve been exploring with how art can be accomplished through code – definitely speaks a lot for frontend developers as well, as well as how one can be more creative in general, so I liked all the thoughts that were shared.

https://www.fastcompany.com/90572489/u-s-election-maps-are-wildly-misleading-so-this-designer-fixed-them?ref=sidebar Some nice points about how data visualization can be misleading, and how it can be improved henceforth – also very relevant to our project of the data portrait, where we’ll have to figure out ways in which to portray our data!

https://blog.usejournal.com/coding-art-312efa2020fd This article on creating art with code was very interesting to read through. I especially enjoyed the section on Code Poetry where the boundaries between linguistics and computational literature were blended in together. I think this highlights the extent to which technology and coding can blend into our lives Read more…

When thinking about great data artists today, Giorgia Lupi comes to mind. She recently finished an artistic representation/project on relevant data relating to COVID-19 that is worth taking a look into. Check out her great designs here: http://giorgialupi.com/
