Ron Arad

Ron Arad: Restless explores three decades of Arad’s work from his early post-punk approach to his highly polished sculptural furnishings, via his architectural designs and mass produced pieces. The show also features a dramatic installation made from cutting edge LED technology which really needs to be seen in the flesh to be fully appreciated.
I consider this show a real 'must see', I was slightly dubious about whether it would impress but had no need to worry. The work is diverse and truly stunning and the wealth of support information and the planning of the exhibition is exemplary.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank The Barbican Art Centre for inviting me :)

Experimental video created for the Samurai Jazz Quintet by Takafumi Tsuchiya.
Interesting and a little bit chaotic - there's nothing wrong with that though is there ;)

Digital Blackbook
A collection of un-curated gestural data captured via bespoke software by Evan Roth.
Elegantly simplistic yet mesmerising... similar to some of the work by the Graffiti Research Lab.

Hippie House

Some really nice techniques displayed in this refreshing showreel.
There's a couple of snippets using abstract forms that are simply gorgeous - sadly they are over far too quickly!

Hana Screensaver
Hana screensaver now available for OSX intel.
Hana is a dream about flowers for computers. The idea is that no aspect of creating the flowers is hidden from the computers, everything is created in code and no bitmaps are used that the computer has not seen to the creation of itself, letting the computer "think" through every step.
I've known Andreas for some time now and his work never fails to blow my sock off!

Strangely mesmerising - like flying over rolling hills.
Randomly discovered the work of Rafaël Rozendaal. A bit hit and miss, but I do like the way each piece resides under its own URL.

Auditorium

Auditorium is about the process of discovery and play. Guide the flow (a stream of audio visual particles) that will create sound when directed over the audio container of their color. There are no right or wrong answers: there are many ways to solve each puzzle.

Gorgeous new idents for Channel Five and IdN Magazine - like kinetic liquid paint.
I remember as a kid how you could get something vaguely similar using a saucer of milk, some drops of food colouring then adding one drop of washing up liquid!

Investigating space-time not only as a three dimensional environment, but as space in transformation. Two layers are produced: the physical layer, which controls the real space and shapes the volumetric base that serves as a support for a virtual projected layer that allows control of the transformation and sequentiality of space-time.
