Moca Art week 6
Emine Berkan
Digital works with manipulation; montage, unable to locate any information on the artist, however I was interested in the type of art she used please see below for information on photo manipulation and montage. (MOCA ART)
Photo manipulation is the application of image editing techniques to photographs in order to create an illusion or deception (in contrast to mere enhancement or correction), through analog or digital means. Its uses, cultural impact, and ethical concerns have made it a subject of interest beyond the technical process and skills involved.
In digital editing, photographs are usually taken with a digital camera and input directly into a computer. Transparencies, negatives or printed photographs may also be digitized using a scanner, or images may be obtained from stock photography databases. With the advent of computers, graphics tablets, and digital cameras, the term image editing encompasses everything that can be done to a photo, whether in a darkroom or on a computer. Photo manipulation is often much more explicit than subtle alterations to color balance or contrast and may involve overlaying a head onto a different body or changing a sign’s text, for example. Image editing software can be used to apply effects and warp an image until the desired result is achieved.(ava360.com/photomontage-photo-manipulation-the-difference).

Vlatko Ceric MOCA Week 6
Vlatko Ceric is an abstract artist from Zagreb, Croatia who specializes in
computer modeling. His genre is classified as "software art" or "algorithmic
art" because the art is generated from computer algorithms that he writes himself to create the images.
I have clearly come to love abstract even more with this class.
Ceric says he is inspired by Brancusi, Klee, Mondrian, Vasarely and de Stael. But, he writes, "I believe that computer art has to find its own character and form, rather than copying traditional art styles. In my work I am looking for my own style through extensive experimenting with form and manipulation of colours, and for that purpose I use the computer as a powerful tool and a partner in the creative process." http://moca.virtual.museum/ceric/ceric01.htm

Zeynep Baskurt MOCA Week 5
"I am from Turkey, and these photos contain two cosmos, brain and heart. I
mixed some photos together to create these works via collage." http://moca.virtual.museum/autogallery2012/autogallery_baskurt/index.asp?mode=view&Image=1
he considers his photography street photography and any and everything is his influence once he opens up his eyes he gets visions from it. Many of his pictures are of everyday living and people doing there daily activities.

MY WEEK 2: PAINTING MACHINE
The first two paintings started out as the original photo of Michelle Obama transitioning to the last photo that was flattened on top of that of Barack Obama.
Artist for week 5
Dave Acton
A self taught artist who is currently working with the computer as the medium for his work using Twisted Brush software. Dave has also done art in watercolour, oil and woodcarving, and dabbled a little in poetry.
Vase and Oranges"
watercolour
"White
Pines of Galetta"
Art has always been part of my life and is a natural endeavour for me. I love
working with my hands and also the aesthetics of trying to impart the sense of
empathy in what I see and enjoy around me.
I am self-taught and tend to get involved with an art media for 4 to 5 years and then move on to another. In this regard, I have spent years in each of the areas of photography, watercolours, oils, carving and now I am just getting into digital art. I also have dabbled a little in poetry and see it as an extension of a painter's brush.
My journey into digital art is one of trying to use it in a way that closely resembles the natural media of watercolours, oils etc and endeavouring to produce one off printed canvases.
I generally prefer figurative type painting but as you can see my work tends to reflect a pretty eclectic interest. I enjoy the outdoors and cross country-skiing in winter and kayaking and gardening in summer. I mention this as it so influences the subject of my art. A little taste of this is illustrated here.

Until now I have had a section in this website on my kayaking travels. This can now be found at WWW.PADDLER.CAwww.ThePaddler.ca

Artist for week 6
Brummbaer
Brummbaer (born August 18, 1945) is a German digital artist who has done work as an art director, designer, graphic artist, and 3D modeler. As an actor he has appeared in various German TV movies, and also produced and directed. In the latter part of his career he became focused on computer graphics, and has since created several short computer-generated animations like the one he has on his moca artist website and have done visual effects for movies.
http://moca.virtual.museum/digivid/brummbaer.htm
His Tralfmadorian Autopsy video is located on the moca artist page and on youtube.

WEEK 6: MOCA ARTIST
Charles Csuri
In the era of the punch-card computer
Charles Csuri turned from a successful career as a modernist painter to the
improbable potential of digital art. That was in 1964. Now at the age of 83,
Csuri is recognized as one of the great teachers, researchers and pioneers of
computer art. He is today professor emeritus at Ohio State University, where he
taught and headed up its digital art program for many years. He is one of the
fathers of programmed and algorithmic art, of 3D still art and animation, of
virtual reality, and his work has influenced such fields as flight simulation,
magnetic resonance imaging, game design and more. His students populate many
digital animation companies including Pixar, Industrial Light and Magic, and
Silicon Graphics, and his own art and research have been celebrated worldwide
in many shows and publications. Included on his MOCA page is a short and almost a random
sampling of twelve still images by the artist. Some works are algorithmic and
fractal-like, one ("Fear") includes hand drawing, and all were drawn
in whole or in part by software code of the artist's devising.
I like the scribbling technique he uses to
produce some of his art by hand drawing then using software to bring out his
techniques. His work is very creative, unique and illuminating to me.

A Happy Time

Class ends in a week....
Hi Everyone,
Just a reminder that the last day of this class is Friday, July 13th. All work needs to be submitted by then. Please take some time to review the week by week list of expectations linked in the upper right hand side of the blog. Although it shows 8 weeks, we need to finish everything at the end of the 6th week.
I just called the ADP office and found out the deadline for withdrawals and incompletes is Tomorrow, July 6th.
The center of gravity for your grade is your creative work. Each of the projects is designed to be a springboard for creative exploration on your part. I need to see evidence that you are creatively interacting and having fun with a particular mode that week highlights. Time is getting short. I haven't seen anyone work with the week 3 project, "Scripts and Digital Painting" yet. I only have 1 student out of 5 that has posted to fotothing. There is a daily maximum for the free version.
From the rubric and the syllabus...
Academic Expectations:
Post at least twice a week to the class blog. Care about the quality as well as quantity of your creative work, help and collaborate with others in the class, communicate openly with me…. Do your best. Your portfolio posted to Fotothing will be the tangible evidence of your progress in the medium but your overall contributions will play a role in determining your grade as well. Don't wait until near the end, then try to get your work done in a rush... that's like skipping class all semester. A minimum of 50 projects posted to your fotothing account is suggested. You may keep working on earlier assignments until the end. You may replace earlier work with newer work you like better. Your final grade is based on "The Big Picture", that is, how well you have tried to understand the assignment and worked to create pieces reflecting the spirit of the task at hand, your progress in the medium, your contributions through posting comments on other's work on the class blog as well as on fotothing. Effort counts! Qualtity as well as quantity count
If you feel that you won't be completing enough work to pass the class, do withdraw before the deadline rather than take a failing grade.
Wishing everyone the best.

Artist for week 5
Christel Dall
This is a re-installation of an exhibit previously available at MOCA but now re-sequenced with a new image added. This re-installation seems advisable because it gives the artist a major presence on the web that is not otherwise available.
Christel Dall originally
wrote, "I am a 'compulsive photographer', working as a photojournalist for
a small daily newspaper in Denmark. I have recently begun exploring the realm
of digital art, after having digitally enhanced my photos for several years. I
work with advertising too, and sell the odd print once in a while. I was a
hobby photographer for more than ten years before I turned pro, and I am
self-taught both as a writer and photographer. Born 1965, I am a single mother
of a boy aged 5. I studied philosophy for six years and later multimedia
design, but dropped out. I worked as a nursery gardener, cleaner and department
store decorator. Generally I don´t like talking about myself. I´m not very
interesting. I pour a lot of emotions into my pictures, but ultimately the
viewer adds his own content. 'We don´t see things as they are - we see them as
we are.' (The Talmud) Besides photography, I love to work with typography and
to incorporate words as compositional elements in pictures. I can be everything
from minimalist to surrealist depending on where the whim takes me. Adobe
Photoshop is my preferred tool."
The images here are
cries of communication: letters, missives, messages from the heart. This is as
close as graphics gets to autobiography.
I like the colors and the fact that this picture looks original from way back in the early 40's and 50's with an old school look.

Street Scenes
Carol Caputo
Above Water
Carol Caputo
Above Water
Carol Caputo is a New York
"street" artist who attended the School of Visual Arts in New York
and has been a graphic designer and art director for many years. She roams New
York with camera and rubbing pad, crayon and sketchbook recording her
impressions. Back in her studio, these images (or parts of them) are then
collaged and overlayed in Photoshop. Her method and style are unique.
She writes, "The street
provides me with everything I need to create my drawings and paintings.
Assorted images emerge and become a database that is stored in my subconscious.
I roam the cityscape picking up speed and energy from the crowds of people
rushing around me. Visual stimulation is unique to every neighborhood; I use
this to create variety in my work. With my camera and sketchbooks I turn my
impassive surroundings into fluid abstractions. I have an intimate relationship
with my environment. I see it, I touch it, and I use it. Building facades,
discarded furniture, plastic containers evolve into a flowing arena of delicate
pen lines and rich moving colors. These raw impressions, anonymous textures and
organic shapes add lush tones, patterns and rhythms that resonate from the
urban landscape. This process of reinventing and rediscovery is the core of my
work."
What I personally like about this artist is that she originally sketches her work and then creates within the computer aspect of photoshop.

Ian
Clemmer on his L'Oreal Pitch:
“I
had the chance of designing a pitch for L'Oreal when I was working for the
Spatial Harmonics Group. The director's wish was for a hybrid between fluid,
fabric and gas, a spectacular piece of fluid animation. I created this gasesous
fluid fabric with 3d Studio Max, FumeFX and Krakatoa, compositing in
AfterEffects. This is what I came up with and apparently I nailed it on the
spot :)”
MOCA ARTIST WEEK 4
An early electric sheep
About Scott
Draves
Scott
Draves a.k.a. Spot is a visual and software artist living in New York City.
Draves is best known as the creator of the Electric Sheep, a continually
evolving abstract animation with over 450,000 participants.
He
created the original Flame algorithm in 1991, the Bomb visual-musical
instrument in 1995, and the Electric Sheep in 1999. Draves' software artworks
are released as open source and have been used for two decades by many other
artists and designers in their own work. Most recently, Draves created
Generation 243, a commissioned piece for the Gates Center for Computer Science
at Carnegie Mellon University. Other works in clude Clade 1, a rare true
high-definition video artwork that runs a 26-minute loop. Dreams in High Fidelity,
a moving painting that runs infinitely, is installed in the lobby of Google's
headquarters, and has been acquired by corporate and residential collections
nationally.
Draves'
award-winning work is permanently hosted on MoMA.org, and has appeared in Wired
and Discover magazines, as an official skin for Google Chrome, as the graphic
identity for Siggraph 2008, the Prix Ars Electronica 1993, the O'Reilly
Emerging Technology Conference, and on the main dance-floor at the Sonar
festival in Barcelona.
When
not working as a full-time artist, Draves has worked for a series of technology
start-ups. First was the fabless microprocessor design company Transmeta, made
famous by Linus Torvalds. Later came FastForward Networks, which was acquired
by Inktomi, then the PDI/Dreamworks R&D Department, which earned him a
feature film credit for Shrek 2. Draves is now an engineer in the mapping
division at Google Inc.
Spot
started VJing at underground parties in the early 90s and still performs live.
In 2004 he published SPOTWORKS a DVD of visual music which has sold more than
4000 copies.
In
1990 he received a BS in Mathematics from Brown University and in 1997 a PhD
from the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University for a thesis
on metaprogramming for media processing.
