Karina Montenegro: ASC Ballerina

This haunting project from Karina Montenegro of Zilch gives us chills every time we watch it. Between the creepy music and the eerie, ghost-like forms of the dancer that emerge and recede into the black and red background, it’s a gorgeously ghoulish video work. Footage of the ballerina has been processed in ASCII, the web’s favorite character-encoding scheme, to make it look as if this dancer is just a phantom glitch in the matrix.

Amor Muñoz: Schematics: Expanded and Functional Drawings

This series of “textile art pieces” translates the inscrutable nature of circuits into an interactive art piece that explores the components and process of connectivity. By blowing up the circuit design into a large format and translating it into the medium of embroidery, Muñoz looks at the circuit’s aesthetic and functional qualities. The series includes different modes of interaction, including a circuit that responds to drawing, skin on skin contact, and sound.

Patrick Gunderson: Ablaze.js
Working in the style of Creators like Casey Reas, Patrick Gunderson uses javascript to explore the concept of “emergence” in this gorgeously simply little web app. Play around with the options menu to see how simple changes in the schematics alter the design. It’s a great way for generative art newbies to get a hands-on feel for how this type of art functions.
