My attempt to work with Radioheads House of Cards data they provided. (http://code.google.com/creative/radiohead/)
I put it into the Java based Sunflow renderer. Played with the data. Tried some effects. …
Initially I wanted to transform the data into something completely different. Since its just numbers. But I had to learn that with all the noise every other interpretation of the coordinates becomes chaos.
The video above is the last try. Took two days to render and I am going to close this case.
And another artist that has a generative feel to me. Its Brendan Monroe and I found the link on Surfstation.
I especially love the well chosen color palette of those offline art pieces. When working with the computer one tends to cook with a bit of random, or generate the colors out of certain rules. But having a logically right color and a appealing one is the issue and one of the fields i like to practice in.
stills from a video for radioheads house of cards. its based on the 3d scan data provided by the band. i am creating it entirely with sunflow and thats why it takes literally days to render. so there will be coming more pictures the week. perhaps next week too. i am rendering throughout the day, playing and changing at the night and then continue rendering. so the video will progress and i do not know where it will go. what intrigues me most is to see the coordinates of the head as just columns of data. they do not necessarily form a head.
