ARTIST STATEMENT — MelOrchid
Title: "Processing Center"
The body is always inventory to someone.
I wanted to show the moment of selection—not the violence itself, but the calm after it becomes normalized. The suited men are not monsters. They are us, performing appraisal as we've been trained. The window separates nothing. We are all in circulation.
As the previous District image, this version has some processing. Definition, saturation up, shadows up a touch.
We sorted into sky, snow, yellow and everything else and within those groups, rows of the different shapes.

a bezier curve based on 4 rotating control points. spots drawn along the bezier. random colours, additive blended and with history. trots along nicely at 25fps and <10% cpu.
first thing i've written for a while. need some work, not least the spot graphics i'm using which needs alpha blending and the first and last control points need to do something more interesting than a circular path (especially as the first and last control points determine the first and last points on the bezier exactly). random colours need to be not random, i think. colour cycled both in time and along the bezier.
written in about an hour and a half at the Lexington on a sunday afternoon. will convert to Windows Screensaver when i'm feeling masochistic, possibly tomorrow as it's a bank holiday.
This may drive purists up the wall. Apologies beforehand.
I've recently learned about the language processing, where you can write your own visual scripts. Fairly cool stuff. This is a "filter" that basically takes an image and creates a "Chuck Close" version of it using circles and squares.
Nothing cooler than writing your own software to manipulate an image. Kind of like artistic hacking.
after painting all the copper work, I paint in the angel and the gilded ball at the top of the spire, starting with yellow ocher and working progressively into brighter and purer yellows
