Xcèntric: Derivas geométricas

By Marcos Ortega on Vie, 25/11/2016 - 06:20

Un programa de proyecciones en paralelo a la exposición “La máquina de pensar. Ramon Llull y el «ars combinatoria»”

Antes de que los artistas trabajasen con ordenadores, una serie de pintores de vanguardia, como Oskar Fischinger, Harry Smith y Jordan Belson, crearon un cine no narrativo que tenía en cuenta la geometría, las posibilidades de combinaciones matemáticas y también la espiritualidad. Tras estos visionarios, otros artistas como John Whitney abrazaron el nuevo medio de la imagen sintética para seguir indagando en la animación abstracta. Muchos otros autores y autoras han seguido su estela hasta nuestros días.

Chaos and Order, an iotaCenter Salon

By Marcos Ortega on Mar, 16/08/2016 - 03:21

Witness a collection of visual music from across time and from around the world that represent the spectrum of rationality. Order on the one side and chaos on the other. Are they truly polar opposites? Is there order in total chaos or chaos in highly organized forms? Tell us your thoughts in this night of films and discussion.

Salons are a signature component of the iotaCenter, the world’s first organization devoted to visual music. These are wonderful nights where we get together as a community of artists, academics and curious onlookers to pontificate on the wild and abstract works called “visual music.”

Oporto apresenta #37: Calculated Movements by Larry Cuba

By Marcos Ortega on Dom, 01/03/2015 - 06:15

Back in the sixties when computers were about to make their colossal breakthrough in the territory of art, Henry Flynt coined the term concept art for a new art-form based in mathematics. For digital pioneers such as Stan Vanderbeek, John Whitney or Larry Cuba, the computer was "the supreme mathematical instrument", a new media meant to trigger aesthetic intuitions. Tonight we will present what could be considered a pure form of conceptual work (by Henry Flynt's standards). We are screening the digital masterpiece Calculated Movements, a vectorial animation created by Larry Cuba while programming the wireframe structure for the infamous Star Wars' Death Star.
