Digital Imaging Doodles

This Photoshop abomination was created in class today. It is multi-layered; 10 layers were compiled to produce this composition. Photo material was pulled from Google Images and the hardest part of the creation of this image was removing the water mark from the corgi puppy by using the Clone Stamp tool.

Granular Synthesis

Granular Synthesis is comprised of two individuals Kurt Henschlager and Ulf Langheinrich who have been working together under the pseudonym since 1991. The common goal of this group is to utilize audiovisual abstraction as an ethereal, abstract, and sonic experience. This unique approach to digital imaging can be experienced at shows, but loses effect when shown without sound.

Repetition of Form II

This image was taken on the small bridge that links into the SEB. The lines converge at the top of the composition as concentric circles also form a cone shape with the vertex intersecting the point of convergence.

Repetition of Form

The repetition of form utilized in this image is apparent in the horizontal lines that gravitate to the center of the composition. The image is centric, as all lines show movement to the center of the composition and draws the audience's attention to the middle.

The History of the Internet

This graphic is a microcosm of the stark evolution of the internet. Not shown are the technological discoveries before 1990 in regards to telecommunication. The video made me realize that my knowledge of computers lacked in their origin stories. I did not realize that ARPANET was the first prototype of the internet utilized for war. Also, the first item purchased on the internet was pizza; this fact was intriguing, as it displays that even tech-savvy people need pizza in their lives. The last fact that I didn't realize was the huge amount of space that previous computers occupied; interestingly, these room sized giants only had RAM's up to a few kb's!

Gestalt on Mercer's Campus

Shown above is a banner of a logo for the "Research That Reaches Out" concept at Mercer's campus. This particular banner was right outside the front entrance of Hardeman Hall. Some could argue that the globe was preemptively drawn as a circle and the lines were drawn over it. From a gestalt point of view, a black circle was the base, and individual white polygons were placed over it, formulating a globe and emphasizing a round movement. The orange streaks that are superimposed over the globe help strengthen the idea of rotational movement.
