23 things - image generators

I haven’t been too enthused with the image generators.

I liked the idea of adding text to bob dylan’s subterranean homesick blues, but I couldn’t think of something witty or ironic to say. Maybe I should have said “check out the guy at the end of the clip, it’s allen ginsberg.”

I found a site where you can create your own mondrian ‘painting’.

However I’ve decided to go with a site that I came across a couple of years ago. This site helps you write your own artist statement, something that I need to do for one of my subjects at uni. Perhaps I could use the following.

Work of Post-Art in the Age of Artificial Reproduction

The flux creates, the chaos permeates. In the synaptic artifice, art objects are calculations of the iterations of the flux -- a flux that uses the chaos as a zeitgeist to deconstruct ideas, patterns, and emotions. With the synergy of the electronic environment, the flux is conceiving a point where it will be free from the chaos to realize immersions into the machinations of the delphic artifice. Work of Post-Art in the Age of Artificial Reproduction contains 10 minimal java engines (also refered to as "clipper chips") that enable the user to make material audio/visual compositions.

Using aesthetic loops, non-linear narratives, and allegorical images as patterns, gillespie creates meditative environments which suggest the expansion of space...

For a minute I thought you were being deadly serious! Thanks for the link i had a go myself....here's my artist's statement -

Jwa De V's work investigates the nuances of vibrations through the use of slow motion and close-ups which emphasize the Generative nature of digital media. De V explores abstract and luminous scenery as motifs to describe the idea of infinite space. Using rotating loops, non-linear narratives, and slow-motion images as patterns, De V creates meditative environments which suggest the expansion of art...

Hi Jo
This is really clever! Wish I'd known about it for my statements of intention in my previous life as a creative writer ...
By the way, I never realised it was Allan Ginsberg at the end of the Subterranean homesick blues clip!
