First off, I just want to say that I love that my computer screen is “snowing” on the wordpress log-in site. Here in Austin we get very little of that & the mini- flurry we had today was pretty sweet.
Lately I’ve been writing alot about computer art it seems, but since I’m a graphic designer/digital illustrator I find myself constantly happening upon art created on the computer that blows me away. Today I came across a Generative Artist named Natan Sinigaglia. (Generative Art is art that is created using computer software algorithms, remember the mandelbrots?) Natan’s work has a very organic feel to it, and he mentions on his website that it is inspired by nature. Some of the warm, luminescent colors of his “Places” series remind me of Arches National Park in Utah. And then there is the composition Celeste Moteste by Natan Sinigaglia and Pedro Mari.
“Celeste Moteste” is described in the notes as
an audiovisual suite in three movements with both the music and the visuals are generated in realtime using the input of two electric instruments (a wind instrument and a piano). The theme of the suite is the growth of consciousness, a growth that develops during the three movements.
The original setup is meant to be a three screens span mode resulting in a panoramic 4:1 view.
Torvald Hessel, if you’re listening, the soon to be Austin Planetarium would be a great place to showcase this type of concert, right?
And, finally, check out Natan’s Neuronal Stormo Test 16 on FlickR, –art+nature inspired+science
Thanks a lor for the feedback and for spreading our work, would be great indeed to perform Celeste Motus at the Austin Planetarium.. oh and great blog btw!
Your art & compositions are amazing! I would love to see it shown on the walls of the Planetarium that is under way. Since they have expressed interest in having the Planetarium be a place where Art+Science come together, I’ll be sure and forward your interest in performing there on to Torvald. Thanks for the kind words about the blog.
