outside in, 10 years of software art by john simon
interview with artist and computer programmer john f. simon jr. simon recently opened his show outside in at maramotti collection in italy. the exhibit looks back at 10 years of the artist’s research into software art up to his latest piece vision (2009, below).
the artist maintains a daily practice of drawing and would use these drawings as the base of his work. by transferring them to code, the final display of endless combinations of colors and patterns picks up emergent patterns from the systemic medium that talk about its own structure and limitations.
in this interview simon also talked about the relationship between his visual art and technology, how advances in computing power had afforded him a larger voice, and the potential migration (reincarnation?) of his work into future hardware.
outside in is open until may 3, 2009.
he met the walrus. and then he turned it into a kickass video
In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon’s every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon’s boundless wit, and timeless message.
