Side widget problem

By the way, if that irritating little dilogue box comes up stating something about the little gallery not having been uploaded properly, just hit the " dismiss all" button. It is not a virus, I just haven't had the time to fix it. And to the 50 people a week who check this out, please leave a comment? I would love to hear what you think about the art!!

Amazing Fusion of Science and Art

I have been working on a couple of other projects over the last few weeks, 1 week on a photographic exhibition, and this week on 9 pieces of Brut art, which are nearly finished. I did get the chance to do some research on the ol' puter--what else do you do at 2 am?- and have found some amazing "stuff" that other artists are doing. I have totally fallen in love with the concept of "New Media" art.There is so much scope to be creative with reality and science, the patterns of nature, soundwaves, etc. It appears to be a process of "connecting" , a realization that we are viewing the world and ourselves from a totally different perspective.
The enpowerment of technology. It doesn't seem enough to just produce a painting that is just pleasing to the eye, anymore. Not to the New Media artists anyway. Dr Paul Schofield is a doctor who produces art based on medicine and DNA studies. I have fully connected to his expression and I love his work. Patricia Piccinini is an other widely aclaimed new media artist-
check out her work at http://www.patriciapiccinini.net/. The mind boggles.
Pierre Proske makes the most beautiful patterns from sound waves.Inspired by repeating visual units in Japanese textile design Voiceprints, created by Pierre Proske, uses specially-designed software to translate voice patterns into a design. More specifically, Proske loops and analyzes frequencies to create an algorithm that organizes visual elements into a representation of a person's voice.
Like a synaesthetic version of DNA11 prints made using genetic material, each spiraling abstract voiceprint is uniquely characteristic of an individual speaker according to their intonation. Proske aims to bring the project full circle by turning the designs into textiles in the near future.
Proske's art needs some serious thought. There is obviously a hell of a lot more tolistening to Music than we know. There is so much more to art than Cubism and Pointellism and Impressionism, and Jackson Pollock!!
