‘Code Nebula’ Explores the Depths of Data Art

November 12, 2015, 4:35pm

A universe has opened up in the center of the web, allowing visitors to look into the depths of The Wrong, a digital art biennial. Known as Code Nebula, this pavillion tears open the stitching between “art and computer coding, a universe transited by artists who use the language of programming as their creative medium.” Featuring works from code art legend (almost of mythic proportions) LIA and “Clouds in Cloudless Skies” data-driven music video director Glenn Marshall alongside works by Julien Bayle, Dan Tapper, and Paul Prudence, Code Nebula presents a wide range of sounds and visuals, from animations to applications, all accessible with the click on one of the site’s cosmic buttons.

“Many of the artists share a collaborative philosophy that encourages growth and experimentation,” Code Nebula explains. “This project aims to stimulate a dialogue between the different works of art and create, a dynamic network with a nonlinear navigation, a nebula with its own rules and shape of behavior. Creative coders give life to millions of particles that explode, merge and regenerate into different art forms. They expand forming a unique cosmogony.”
