The past couple of weeks have been a great introduction into Processing. Processing is the programming language developed by Ben Fry and Casey Reas. Being the complete novice, it has been quite the experience. What’s even more exciting than learning a new language is seeing designers, artists, engineers, architects, educators, and so many different creative minds (some with very little to no programming experience – I fall into this category) learn the language and create interactive works that will astonish…

Last weekend, I watched Full Metal Jacket. Being a huge fan of Stanley Kubrick and a sucker for a well done war film, the movie was phenomenal. Naturally, I thought of the various ways war has been depicted in the visual and new media arts. Admittedly, I’m not huge fan of political art; HOWEVER, when it’s done well, it can be powerful and truly engaging. From visual to performative, the artists below have created some of the most memorable pieces.…

I can’t help it. I adore Carissa Potter. As a matter of fact, I have nice things to say about her here. Hope you clicked on ‘here’ and read about her…this post will definitely be here when you get back. 🙂 Okay, now that you’ve read about her. I’ve got more wonderful news, she’s working with Luca Antonucci (another incredible artist) on a special book project “The Stars Are In The Sky & The Stars Are In Your Eyes” for a…

Aptekar explores 3-dimensionality with stacks of laser-cut paperboard. Her laser-cut sculpture-objects show no evidence of the artist’s hand. First designed as virtual 3D objects in CAD software, and then translated into 2D layers of laser-cut bristol board that the artist stacks, the emphasis is on clean design and perfect, machine-executed manufacture. The effect is a sculpting of space.* Opening Reception: Friday, August 12, 2011 7-10PM Exhibition Dates: August 12 – September 24, 2011 Gallery Hours: Friday – Saturday 12pm –…

Yes, folks, I still love painting and I still write about artists who use traditional methods. I wanted to give you a little taste of what’s to come. I’m currently working on an article about Bay Area artist, Aaron Nagel. I had the pleasure of sitting down with him to discuss his art and practice BUT here’s a great video from the Warholian. Enjoy!

Being a volunteer at Gray Area Foundation for the Arts has given me access to some amazing resources. It’s been both an enriching and engaging experience. I’ve met some of the most creative minds (ever) volunteering and one of the latest ventures involves Processing. At first, there was a fair bit of trepidation taking the Processing 101 class. I have never programmed or coded before but I wanted to get a glimpse into the creative side of it. Since many…

We live in a world where there is more and more information, and less and less meaning. ~ Jean Baudrillard In the era of Atari and Apple monochrome computers, the layperson was limited to simple data processing and a nice game of Pong. For the more engaged end user, technology possessed a winsome quality. Virtual environments were once considered new media and presented innovative approaches at understanding and connecting with the world. Within these environments, language was a key component in establishing such venues…
