Natzke

Eric Natzke continues to push his generative art in an ever more unique direction and to blur the lines between design and technology.

Form Minus Function

An incredibly beautiful triptych of paint drop images...

Actop

Inspiring Flickr stream of experimental abstract imagery created in After Effects.

Actop's website is well worth a look too...

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!

Onyblog

My dear friend and partner in crime Anthony Kyriazis has got a lovely new design blog up and running.

Stoav

Stoav is rocking a cool new site design and some lovely new work.

Gmunk

Great to see that Gmunk is still rocking work of the highest quality.

It's been a very long time since I saw him last and he hasn't promotes his work in ages.

This Is Now

Beautiful flowing abstract primitives created for Ford by Maxim Zhestkov. Lovely...

Sub 88

Some cool abstract architectural compositions in this well presented personal portfolio.

Justine Ashbee

Stunning undulating abstract compositions - especially as they are drawn by hand.

Strange Attractors

Randomly re-discovered these images - they're really old now but I had forgotten how impressive they are...

Platonic Solids

Delicate and highly intricate renders generated using a subtle subdivision process - reminiscent of tiny organic life forms.

Shame about the 'bitty' Flash scaling, but once the presentation has run through you can view the slides individually.

Space

A preview of part of one of Joshua Davis's presentations on the theme of 'Space' - some 'lovely to watch' generative experiments using bezier curves.

Think this has been around for a little while, although I have only just come across it.

Your Majesty Reel 2008

Gorgeous reel from the boys at Your Majesty - showcasing even more fabulous work.

Your Majesty previously posted here...

Blue Coldesack

The eternal struggle between order and chaos, ending in symbiosis.

I like how it appears more like augmented reality than being seamlessly integrated.

Created by Vladimir Tomin at Spacejump.

Vai Avanti

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.

36

More gorgeous paste-ups on show by this talented and elusive artist.

Forever

Absolutely stunning generative installation at the V&A Museum by Universal Everything.

Christopher Hewitt

My old friend Chris has relaunched his site with some sterling new pieces of work.

Hoping to see a bit more of him, as bizarrely I discovered he now lives about 100 metres from me!

Chaotic Site

Long overdue update to the Chaotic site - including a re-skin, lots of new images and the addition of the brand new Projects Blog...

Victor Timofeev

Interesting hand-rendered abstract compositions - some display an elegant minimalism of line while others are bold and powerful.

With Limited Means - Victor's latest work, is on display at the Hannah Barry Gallery for the next few weeks...

Geosound

Visual soundsystems - is it possible to visualise an acoustic composition to detect the system behind?

Christine Rusche

Bold monochromatic murals that distort the physical space in which they reside.

Ease

Animated identity for Filippa K by Johan Prag.

Beautiful liquid effect - must work out how this is done...

Jen Stark

Long awaited updates at Jen Stark. Incredibly intricate paper cuts, her patience never ceases to amaze me.

N6

Wow! Truly inspiring sculptures - they remind me a little of some of my abstract work (except that they're real and not digital!).

Sumeco

New 2007-2008 portfolio. I am especially loving the Study Reel - for first motion experiments it's very impressive :-)

Sumeco previously posted here...

Carl Kleiner

I love these vivid geometric paper collages - simple but so effective...

Joker Transcend Drawings

Some of the images in this Flickr set are so elegant in their construction, being comprised of only a few well-placed lines.

Delta At Galleri Jonas Kleerup

Just found out that Delta is currently exhibiting some new work at my friend's gallery in Stockhölm.

If you do happen to be in the neighborhood before the 21st December I'm sure it would be well worth dropping in.

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.

I spent over an hour playing with this...

Robert Seidel

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!

Folds In Space

Using plain white, metallic coated or colored paper, beautifully lit and photographed then mirrored until they become aesthetically interesting. Created by Rein Nomm.

So simple in concept - many of these images have a classical or mathematical elegance.

Insa Heels Hotel Shoot

Brilliant photo shoot for Insa Heels by the talented Dead Dead Dead.

I can't deny that I'll always be 'slightly' biased towards pictures of cute girls in nice underwear and good high heels!

Insa Heels previously posted here...

Ion Paper Collages

Amazing collages by Are Mokkelbost.

Although some of the more complex images are truly stunning in their depth, I am personally drawn to the more simplistic crystalline designs.

Michael Paul Young

Slick new site that supports a wealth of beautiful abstract 3D work and much more besides...

Aaron Noble

Inspired by comic book imagery, Aaron Noble's paintings incorporate superhero body parts morphed, stretched, and free floating in a 'negative space' landscape.

Always wondered who had done the amazing mural next to the Red Lion on Hoxton Street - guess now I know :-)

Insa Heels

Well-known graffiti artist Insa has just gone into production with a delectable range of ladies high heels. These were first seen as hand-customised originals displayed at some of his earlier shows.

Truthtag In 3D

Someone anonymously sent me this movie - inspired by Truthtag's cubist/constructivist installations.

Truthtag previously posted here...

Tim Muller

Elegant and minimal portfolio for this proficient 3D artist (and it appears - brother of my old friend Tom Muller ). I particularly love the abstract renders in the 3D Playground section.

Delaunay Raster

Jonathan Puckeye and Jürg Lehni's stunning image treatment that utilises image vectorisation and colour averaging. Amazing output considering its simplicity.

Pablo Valbuena

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.

Delta Interview

Found this very interesting and insightful two-part interview with Delta (Boris Tellegen).

Richard Sweeney

Richard Sweeney makes things out of paper - amazing things...

Supashapes

Nice Flickr set of ribbon-based abstracts created with VVVV.

Desaxismundi also has many other interesting sets worth looking through if you've got a bit of spare time.

Beatboxes

Interesting Flickr set of semi-translucent cubic abstracts created with VVVV.

Desaxismundi also has many other interesting sets worth looking through if you've got a bit of spare time.

Nanikawa

This offshoot from Hi-Res have created some stunning work. As far as I'm aware it's still run by the ultra talented Andreas Müller - who I haven't seen for ages. You can see more of his work at Hahakid.

Numbers

New Flickr set from Lenny JPG. Abstract visualisations based on different statistical data from the Russian Federation.

Lenny JPG previously posted here...

Ndeur

There's some really nice illustration work in here, but I particularly love Ndeur's gorgeously customised high heels. If you're tempted to surprise the lady in your life, have a look in his Etsy shop.

This Is Sand

Feeling tense? Find relaxation with this clever and well-coded Flash app. It allows you to create images reminiscent of those kitsch sand paintings you used to find in dodgy seaside towns ;-)

Cluster

Wow! Not much more I can say about this - deeply inspiring sculptural work by Martin Böttger.

More Supaformula

Some new updates at Sanch TV - lovely as always, I posted the earlier Supaformula examples almost one year ago to the day!

Qube Konstrukt

Great portfolio, especially some of the motion graphics - which can be viewed in their current showreel. I particularly like this bit of model making for the Next Wave Festival, it's nice to see people successfully combining traditional and digital skills.

They also have a self-published book called Consort that is available here - I have ordered myself a copy =)

The Brick Lane Gallery

I saw this in the window of The Brick Lane Gallery, not sure who the artist is, but I imagine it must be part of the Free for Wall! exhibition.

Pablo Alfieri

Nice site with some great new work. I originally posted Pablo's Flickr set back in February and it looks like he's been pretty busy since then.

Suprb

New design for Andreas Pihlström's portfolio site - straight forward interface packed with solid design work!

Jordi Ferreiro

Unusual illustrations and installations, comprised of vividly coloured geometric shapes.

Sebastien Cannone

Stunning showreel with some amazingly complex graffiti inspired elements - a must see!

Matei Apostolescu

A very diverse portfolio... there are some beautiful illustrations in there, have a dig around.

Curt Blog

Discovered this blog - I hope they add to it regularly.

I posted their showreel some time ago, but they've updated their site and it's well worth another look.

The Holograms

The Holograms have some new work on show - and it's extremely good! Their MTV Bloom Ident reminds me of Truthtag's work a bit, but even better - it's animated.

36

Interesting Flickr sets of paste-up work and sculptures, some with a strong architectural/blueprint theme.

Julien Valleé

Awesome handmade graphic sculptures and stylish motion graphics. The site is full of lovely work, especially the Globo Logos and Black & White projects.

Gkaster Showreel 2008

Exceptional showreel and portfolio, a beautifully designed and well implemented site too.

Delta Solo Show

First UK solo exhibition by one of the pioneer of the European graffiti movement, Delta, at the Elms Lesters Painting Rooms. Open from June 6th - June 28th.

Delta is renowned for his complex three dimensional styles and visually spectacular, architecturally structured lettering.

Solar System

I've just discover that my old friends over at Your Majesty have created this stunning iGoogle theme. I am currently using it ;-)

Truthtag

Artist who creates cubist/constructivist installations using coloured polystyrene blocks. Some stand starkly against their backdrop and others seems to blend organically into the surroundings.

Tim Borgmann

Insanely detailed and highly emotive abstracts. The various liquids that seem 'caught in time' are so realistically rendered - it's amazing.

Onyro

Bit of a late post, but my old partner in crime Anthony Kyriazis has a temporary site up - a well executed showcase of the work they've been doing recently and all in the Onyro style we know and love.

Ascend

Some elegantly composed abstracts in the portfolio of Ari Weinkle.

Inck

Gorgeous mixed media canvasses and sketches with an interesting 3D and graffiti slant...

Sean Freeman

Dynamic portfolio with some outstanding semi-photographic type treatments.

Damian Czarnota

There are a couple of really impressive illustrations in this straight forward portfolio site.

Maxim Zhestkov

Amazingly detailed and highly emotive monochrome 3D work. Maxim's Flickr photos are well worth a look too.

Metaconfigurator

Discovered this Flickr set - lots of lovely 3D abstractions, created by Kristopher Collins.

Umps Unzin

Discovered this piece while searching Vimeo, created by Depart.

Magnetosphere

Found another beautiful piece created in Processing by Flight 404. Again, I recommend following the link and watching the high quality quicktime version.

Solar With Lyrics

Captivating, almost astrological visuals - created in Processing by the ever-talented Flight 404. I recommend following the link and watching the HD version.

Broken Circles

Discovered this Flickr group - loads of interesting circle-based generative compositions from various artists.

Welcome To Cloud

The portfolio of Pierre Nguyen. Some striking 80's inspired abstract illustration and font design.

Silencio

Átila Meireles's elegant portfolio site has a refreshingly humorous start page and contains some compelling abstract images.

Nodebox

2D generative art program for OS X, that outputs to PDF. There are a few nice scripting examples in the gallery to get started with.

Minimalabs

Some very nice abstracts, especially the ones that have been hand composed as vector art.

Spam Architecture

These images are generated by a computer program that accepts as input, junk email. Various patterns, keywords and rhythms found in the text are translated into three-dimensional modeling gestures. Gorgeously rendered representations too...

Extrusions In C Major

An experiment in music visualization. The composition used for these images is the Trio C-Major by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The branching forms and applied perspective are reminiscent to me of wildstyle graffiti.

The Royal Magazine

The Royal Magazine is the private journal of The KDU. The publication focuses on collisions, culture and capitalism and is packed with fantastic imagery.

Xtrabold - Nelson Balaban

Strikingly detailed abstract illustration and experiments, demonstrating a deep understanding of colour and composition.

MK12

I watched the Kite Runner at the weekend and was completely captivated by the fluid beauty of the intro credits (they are not online yet unfortunately). It didn't come as too much of a surprise to discover that they had been produced by MK12.

I remember some years ago at Kioken, how completely blown away we were when we saw the two MK12 movies above. We went on to experiment with our own pseudo 3D effects - firstly using Combustion and then After Effects . It's a widely used effect now, but they are still incredible, so I thought I would post them.

Théo Gènnitsakis

Solid portfolio with some great illustration, I believe he used to work with my old business partner Anthony Kyriazis (Onyro).

Okadada

Fluid, script-driven, illustrative abstractions... quite mesmerising.

Glam - Adrien Donot

Diverse portfolio with some stunning imagery and detailed illustration.

Serious Situations

Some lovely abstract illustrations, especially the ones with the strong 80's theme.

Delta

The grand master of constructivist graffiti has updated his site with some lovely new work and photos.

Mato Atom

Visually stunning and stylistically varied examples from the portfolio of Mato Atom.

Lenny JPG

Lots of beautiful abstract experiments created in Processing, VVVV or plain old 3D.

Joshua Davis

My old friend and work colleague has a newer lo-fi site up, full of Flash-driven abstract loveliness.

Other - Jozias Dawson

Lovely randomly generated 80's inspired graphics form the backdrop for this slick, elegant and fun to use portfolio site.

Victor Taba

Music and animation mix randomly on a stage of visual and aural stimulation.

Dan Tobin Garvin

Stunning, compositionally dramatic photography - some of the still lifes are amazing.
