    Plagiarism

    This image raises some interesting questions. I did not create the data representing the flowers and the vines. Somebody did an excellent job of modeling the flowers and especially the vines with leaves. It was free data captured from the internet. I modified the data and made instances or copies of it. The original data was too mechanical and so I played with my fragmentation tool. I introduced transparency and the colors and placed the objects in 3d space. Also my concept about space and figure to ground relationships are a factor.

    Who is the artist here? Is it the people who created the models or is it me? Who should get credit for this work?

    Horsey

    Perhaps this should not see the light of day but I enjoyed creating it. My grandchildren think its pretty cool. Any parent can relate to the game Horsey.The bones for the legs and feet have been on my system since the late 70′s. Like finding prehistoric body parts in the basement. Skull is more recent.

    Caravaggio is looking and reminding me I am using his chiaroscuro technique. He was the innovator and a great representative of Baroque painting. The contrasts between light and dark give more emphasis to the three dimensional effect. The dark on the sides of the skulls function as a transition between them and the background.

    The world space has been divided into thin slices of color. As the objects moves through one slice entering another one the color changes. Color appears as rings because of the curvature of the object. The object’s speed of movement through space determines the rate of color change. The world space can also be sub divided into thicker sections. Their orientation as well as the world color space can be altered over time. Color space can be changed at a faster pace than the movement of objects.

    Transition

    I was influenced by the work and statements by Leonardo and Cezanne about transition. Leonardo described transition as sfumato as “without lines or borders, in the manner of smoke or beyond the focus plane”. Cezanne used something he called the “passage” shape as a transition between adjacent forms or shapes. The “passage” shape functioned like a bridge moving across the borders of a form. As a consequence borders or edges were irregular and abstract. Cezanne’s notion of transition was related more to form as an emerging phenomenon.

    Both notions of transition appeal to me. I like the level of control over pixel distribution involving light and transparency provided by computer graphics. For me space becomes layers of transparency and light offering a smooth transition between space and form. (see more examples at www.csurivision.com.) I am especially intrigued by the way this approach works with animation.
