Beautiful Landscapes! the webpages and the audiovisuals.
A strange mashup of formal art-historical aesthetics with commercial internet culture. ie the visualisation also features text that names users, their machines, their service providers and incorporates google maps- like true street art- the art sits alongside and incorporates the digital equivalent of bill-boards, shop walls. : ) Ruth -----Original Message----- From: Emile, Jung-Hua Liu <[email protected]> Reply-to: NetBehaviour for networked distributed creativity <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: [NetBehaviour] Urban Wi-Fi Music - London Wi-Fi Landscape Single Date: Fri, 13 May 2011 06:51:23 +0800 Dear All I had a visualising Wi-Fi network project and converted Wi-Fi identifier codes to web colours(http://fireant.itaiwan.net/). The colours were shaped with grids like Josef Albers's and Michael Judd's works. Their artworks explores the structures and relations between colours via the colour grids. Inspired by them, the colourful grids of Wi-Fi networks constructs the metaphorical structures and connections with colours among them. With the interconnected grids and the interaction of colours, the independent Wi-Fi hotspots are integrated in the conceptually urban landscape. Colour is the active constructor not the representation in this project. Like architect and musician Iannis Xenakis, I attempted to start the second conversion from visual Wi-Fi landscapes to acoustic Wi-Fi music. The colour codes were converted to MIDI scores and they created the special atmosphere of wirelessness and space. My first single is available in Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/London-Wi-Fi-Landscape/dp/B004YXQI1E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1305239235&sr=8-2) and iTunes (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/london-wi-fi-landscape-ep/id435205828) and I also uploaded my experimental works to Youtube(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jziXJy_hO9k). Hope you enjoy them. Kind Regards, Jung-Hua Liu
