Live demo

Automata wrote about the practical aspects of our graph autolayout work. This demo is more of an exploration of the aesthetics: chaos into order into chaos.

last weekend me and @gabithume attended to Node.js Knockout. we wanted to hack an easier way to people start coding in Processing inspired by Scratch, Waterbear and Blockly.

we ended with Waterbear Playground, a place to "code in ProcessingJS using just blocks" :-)

it uses Waterbear and ProcessingJS and many commands from Processing is already implemented as drag-and-drop colored blocks.

Node.js Knockout is an amazing hackathon, very well organized and Node.js community is really inspiring, lots of great tools and people.

thank you so much @dethe, @gabithume and @forresto for all the inspiration and support!

hoping to commit those changes in Waterbear repos ASAP and continue it development.

oh, votes are appreciated ;-)

Manfred Mohr: one and zero 

Exhibition currently at the Carroll Fletcher Gallery, London, on Computer Art pioneer Manfred Mohr, which runs until the 20th of December:

All my relations to aesthetical decisions always go back to musical thinking, either active in that I played a musical instrument or theoretical in that I see my art as visual music… I was very impressed by Anton Webern’s music from the 1920s where for the first time I realized that space, the pause, became as important to the musical construct as the sound itself. So there are these two poles, one and zero.

Manfred Mohr

one and zero, Manfred Mohr’s first solo exhibition in London, presents a concise survey of his fifty-year practice. Harnessing the automatic processes of the computer, Mohr’s work brings together his deep interest in music and mathematics to create works that are rigorously minimal but with an elegant lyricism that belie their formal underpinnings. Through drawing, painting, wall-reliefs and screen-based works, the show examines the artist’s practice through the prism of music and the idea that what is left out is as important as what remains.

Beginning in 1969, Mohr was one of the first visual artists to explore the use of algorithms and computer programs to make independent abstract artworks.  His early computer plotter drawings - when he had access to one of the earliest computer driven plotter drawing machines at the Meteorology Institute in Paris - are delicate, spare monochrome works on paper derived from algorithms devised by the artist and executed by the computer.  P198aa (1977-79) is an elegant rhythmic composition of nine randomly rotated and cut cubes that hints at multi-dimensional space.

the works of Manfred Mohr remember the evolved lines we are currently working with.

amazing.
