Decode
The amazing works on display at London’s Decode: Digital Design Sensations exhibition, point the way to a new form of data-driven modern art.
Amazingly, several of the exhibition pieces depend on human presence to produce their full effect.
There’s a motion-detecting eyeball that blinks each time a visitor blinks. A video screen that enables visitors to “paint” smears of color through the power of their gyrations.
Other installations strip-mine data streams from Twitter, translate a day’s worth of flight routes into animated abstract art and hurl text-message fragments onto dozens of tiny display screens.
In addition to the curated works, the exhibition hosts the Recode project, which invites programmers to re-purpose custom software featured in U.K. designer Karsten Schmidt’s animated video (see video above).
Videos are created, and submitted with the chance to be displayed as public art in the Underground, oh the fame.
I’ve had a wee play with the application and all I can say is its very cool and very addictive
So what are you waiting for? Why not get started here.
