Decomposing Images


This week’s assignment is to download the demonstration code and uncover the mystery phrase hidden within: imagesAsData.zip


I replace the image Mr. Rogers with one of Miro’s painting having same pixel dimensions, 48 x 48. And then I hooked up the mystery image’s RGB data to X, Y, Z values for the pixel agents.


So, the two-word mystery phrase is ‘Space Neighbor’.




‘Bicycle Built for Two Thousand’ is one of most interesting works of Aaron Koblin. The visualization of sound by 2,088 voices keeps my eyes on it when the song "Daisy Bell" is played. ‘Flight Patterns’ is another fascinating work of him. It’s so beautiful. His concept of making art work with many internet workers makes me think about several things; what can technology do in digital artwork, what is interactivity...


The Karsten Schmidt’s works show me how advanced the programming is in motion graphics field. ‘Forever at Victoria & Albert Museum London’, a digital installation spawning an endless sequence of unique animations to an ever changing soundtrack, is one of my favorites. ‘Advanced Beauty 3 of 18’ also fascinates me because it is about the themes of synesthesia which is related to my ongoing research and work.


They, Koblin and Toxi, looks similar in aspect of using programming as their tool for creating artwork. However, their approach to art seems to be quite different.
