Digital brush strokes

"Painting with a digital brush is an attempt to free ASCII Art from the confines of the screen and enable it to exist in physical space – with simply light and paint."

"Content is Queen", a generative video painting

"Content is Queen" by Sergio Albiac is a portrait created using an innovative generative technique developed by the artist called "generative video painting". This generative portrait reflects on the foundations of democracy and the resilient nature of the structures of power.

Experiences of infinite space

"Fireflies on the Water, by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, offers an out-of-this-world experience from the confines of a modest room paneled with mirrors and adorned with 150 tiny beads of light deliberately suspended throughout the compact space. Upon entering the room, there's an illusionary effect that gives the impression of infinite space reflected on all sides and in the two inches of water that flows below."

Bodies in transition

"Artist Andre Wee constructs figurative and metaphoric representations of limbo in his series titled Forming and Fragmenting. The artist interprets this collection of work as "An experience of being of two different states at the same time and yet, not belonging to either" and refers to the subjects' disposition as being in "an eternal state of transition." It is unclear whether his geometric renderings are regenerating their human form or disintegrating into nothingness."

Art imitates the medium

"Zoom in and zoom out" is the new perspective: moving from the whole to the pixel and vice versa.

It's the metrics, stupid!

Artist Ursus Wehrli tidies up art, as these photos show. It's an interesting way to make sense of something supposedly untidy, chaotic and meaningless. Geeky minds who look for parameters on everything they see may find Wehrli's method somehow comforting. As for me, I find these art pieces a very good way to represent the currency of today's online world: metrics. Everything is measured, organized and shown as numerical data of some sort, from Facebook 'likes' to Twitter followers to infographics about percentages of any trade you can imagine. Everything is measured for the sake of the busy reader or user, who needs to make sense of his or her Internet usage and performance, not to mention businesses who need to understand what these users are doing. Thanks to Wehrli we see that nothing is safe from metrics, not even art. It's the world we're living in, stupid!
