Hi Julian, Don't get me wrong. I'm not really trying to justify the existence of anything. Rather, I'm trying to justify my own notion that I've created some art with computer programming that works better outside of the computer and digital realm. Thanks for your comment on The Longest Line. I

Hi Pall, As a fairly recent netbehaviourist I'm kinda saddened that justifying existence is still a thing for digital artists (esp here)... For my music practice I think of code (Pd mainly) as instrument and laptop as tool. Anyhow, this 'wrong-ness' puts me in mind of some Gavin Bryars

Enjoying the thread, why see the potential pixel as a failure - or the blue line on a blue background? from another point of view they're too perfect, a perfection that renders invisible, no distinction between figure and background. couldn't this rather emphasize the code aspect of the work as

RF (here my abbreviation for "random function") holds a random numeric value, currently fixed at 2020. If it wasn't fixed I'd use the alternative suggested in the comment, being the value of nanoseconds from system time. It's fixed because there are only three entrants, and two of them agree

Hi Alan, Thanks for the input. I did a search for 'abacus art' and some interesting stuff came up. It's interesting to think about the pixel as having potential, especially when that potential is failure. And, I guess that's really what I'm considering. That is, creating pieces that don't work

It's interesting when the two come together; I'm thinking of work I've done (and I'm sure others have) with abacus/abaci? - they're an odd mixture (today) of digital and analog of course, and when I was teaching (= allowed to teach), I used them to develop the idea of potential wells, errors, and

2020-09-22 Thread Pall Thayer via NetBehaviour
As some on this list know, for many years, I've been pushing the notion that programming code should be viewed as an artistic medium when it's used to create art. The artist molds it into shape, as they would with a lump of clay, until it takes its final form. When I've discussed these ideas, I've

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Big Grey Bricks: This project also serves as a rehearsal for its culmination as a series of offset-printed volumes: each 800+ full-bleed pages (5x8"_300lpi), where the full integrated rhythm of greyscale-sequence can be more intricately
