An afternoon at the V&A

I spent a couple of hours at the V&A this weekend to go to see an exhibition called Decode.
It just ended last sunday. Here is the synopsis of the exhibition that you can find on the V&A website:

The exhibition explores three themes: Code presents pieces that use computer code to create new works and looks at how code can be programmed to create constantly fluid and ever-changing works.Interactivity looks at works that are directly influenced by the viewer. Visitors will be invited to interact with and contribute to the development of the exhibits. Network focuses on works that comment on and utilise the digital traces left behind by everyday communications and looks at how advanced technologies and the internet have enabled new types of social interaction and mediums of self-expression.

I just posted some pictures of my favourite projects, especially the ones that involves synesthesia (the production of a sense impression related to one sense by stimulating another sense). How can we translate a sound into visual elements? Universal everything give us one of their interpretation. I also enjoyed the interactive projects where I was painting a blank digital canvas only with the motions of my body.

Photoshop advert


I love when craft meets high technologies.

“As real as it gets” says this advert for the new Adobe Photoshop CS4.
