Cloud Mosaic – A New Multimedia Project

Check out my latest multimedia creation entitled Cloud Mosaic.

This project took me about two days of straight work from conception, to storyboard, to web completion.

Cloud Mosaic is entirely composed from 46 original cloud photographs that I took all over the United States in last four years or so. I used random numbers generated from an atmospheric noise algorithm in order to determine the photo selection and timing when creating the animated gif tiles that compose this piece.

I loved making this project because it uses various elements of my artistic preoccupations (randomness, web graphics, photography, nature, divinity, both abstraction and the theoretical) to create something that I don’t think I will ever get tired of looking at. It is a kind of a living photo or photographic compilation. Cloud Mosaic is a piece of visual poetry I have been composing for years, yet only took a few days to manifest into creation.

An Amazing Sculptor – Bathsheba Grossman

I was doing some research at work the other day which led me to a random blog and when I was looking at the comments someone had related some of the content in the blog article to a random artist. I surfed to the link out of curiosity and discovered a new sculptor that I think is awesome: Bathsheba Grossman.

This truly unique artist combines sculpture, Computer Aided Design (CAD), mathematical anomalies and new technologies to fabricate bronze/chrome metal sculptures that could not ever be physically be made by hand. Her techniques include a lot of 3D printing in metal and subsurface laser damage in glass. I love that she combines so many different fields and innovates using new technologies to make her artistic visions a reality. Bathsheba sculpts mathematical equations, DNA proteins, cosmic things like the Milky Way and other complex models.

Check out her official website Bathsheba Sculpture and view a gallery of her work at Symmetry Magazine.
