Our son Adam Florin gave a fascinating talk about generative music at Algorithmic Art Assembly, hosted by Gray Area Art + Technology. He started with a quick demo of Patter, his music composition software, then took us on an illuminating journey through the many people and ideas which inspired him to create his cool freeform generative sequencer.
Brian Eno, who coined the phrase “generative music”, recently likened it to gardening -- but the material practice is just as much rooted in centuries of formal aesthetics, predictive statistics and industrial automation. How can we negotiate the tension between organic and and the mechanical in the algorithmic arts?
Adam has created some amazing digital tools and art exhibits in that space. It was great to hear what he's learned in this fascinating field, exploring the intersection of human and machine creativity. And to top it off, he gave this talk on his birthday, which was the best present of all!

This is a clear plastic cup, with a heavily faceted surface, sitting open end down on the scanner, with a CD-ROM balanced on top of it, shiny side down. The elliptical distortion is an artifact of the scanner; the further from the bed, the more horizontally compressed the image is. The scan has been smoothed to remove dust specks, and had the contrast adaptively increased.
More playing around with refraction and reflection on the flatbed scanner. This is a high-res scan of couple of clear plastic forks for the refraction, with CD-Rs behind them to provide reflections and diffraction. The image has been converted to HSV space and fiddled with there to maximize saturation and alter the hues.

More fun with plasticware. This is a clear plastic knife, fork, and spoon on the bed of the scanner, backed with angled CD-ROMs. The resulting image has been smoothed to remove dust specks, and had the contrast adaptively increased.
Visioni potenziate: creando immagini con l’AI.
Love is love.
L’amore visto in tante forme, anche non convenzionali, anche irriverenti, ma si parla sempre di amore. Questo è quello che vedo io.

Love seen in many forms, even unconventional, even irreverent, but it is always about love. This is what I see.

"The Waste Land," by T.S. Eliot, encoded into binary and displayed as a series of little black squares.
"Each of the tens of thousands of little squares in the image represents a 1 or a 0 – smaller squares are 0s, larger squares are1s; every five squares represents a character of the alphabet. Through this simple system, one of the masterworks of Western literature is both reduced and expanded, its meaning shifted as it blurs the line between symbolic/linguistic meaning and visual expression."
