Check out the pictures made of the exhibition and opening night at the Art+Communication 2009: Energy exhibition in Riga, Latvia. It had been a great and pleasant experience for me to be part of it.

Egg

Chicken

A few months before going to Riga I was working hard to get my contribution finished for a new issue of OK Periodicals magazine. This time they made an issue based on the theme ‘Repeat’. For this magazine I made some special images. After tweaking Bitquid for a long time I got some beautiful images rendered. It took Bitquid about 13 hours to complete these images of 400 x 400 pixels. The results are better than I could imagine in the beginning. I really like this egg I have been rendering. Interesting is that this chicken was rendered twice resulting each time in an unique image. The uncertain process (the use of liquids) by which the images get ‘copied’ is really something that appeals me in this work.

Patterns generated for tweaking my setup

I was asked to contribute to the next issue of OK Periodicals magazine. These are a few test I made so I could tweak the settings of my system to make it process images better. These patterns are generated by a little program I wrote in Processing. As you can see, Bitquid starts to make images with more and more resemblance to the original ones. The great thing about these repetitive patterns is that they turn into less repetitive images due to the influences of the analogue world (the liquids) which the data is transferred through. Click on the image to see the results more clear.
