painting with data, data as input, pictures as output

Each picture is a dynamic composition which results from a program. In programs, some parameters vary randomly or according to data suitable for the moment and the technical context in which the picture generation takes place. Each picture is thus a representation in the field of possibles ones created by the code. Each image is then an element of an infinite and disordered series.

le catalogue

The catalogue contains representations of objects and installations realized between 1990 and 1996. These representations are gradually deteriorated by the users of the catalogue. The single fact of consulting a catalogue's page adds a double stripe in the form of a cross. The combination of the observation's time and the observer's point of view modifies the observed object and transforms it gradually into an abstracted image. Observed objects become sets of observers marks.

Infoscape

a sort of a real-time, on-demand Pollock painting producer, but instead of canvas and paint, it's using data from a vast array of IP host addresses.

FlickrMixr

pictures generated live from Flickr™ feeds.

IPlog

IP addresses are extracted from access_log files and transformed into superposed polygons.

statvis

spider as artist (tribute to Niele Toroni)

The spider is conceived to produce an autonomous show of paintings in a public exhibition space. Paintings are made by the program according to data given by online interface users. Paintings are output representations of URIs provided as input. The show is a loop composed with online produced paintings.

poietic-aggregator

a treemap-like HTML visualization that is capable of representing the keywords present within multiple RSS feeds, for instance those from various Internet sites (e.g. wikis, blogs, news websites, search engines). the map represents multiple feeds as smaller rectangles, that in turn contain the individual entries. the different colors are associated to various user-chosen keywords discovered within the text entries. the last modified entry is positioned in top on the left, the oldest in bottom on the right. (inspired by Poietic Generator by Olivier Auber)
