I wonder if this could potentially be done on the Flash Cube building someday...? It would be an awesome way to spark excitement about a local art community!

Blogworthy

Just got the email pictured below the other day; just another reason to consider Adobe Creative Cloud as an alternative to purchasing the program itself. Several of the media artists I have blogged about have Behance accounts and I am really excited that I can create my own. Better get busy creating content to fill it!

Searching for Media

I have found that the act of searching for new digital artists and their media is almost as exciting as finding new artists and their media. I wanted to find someone who was taking scientific images and using them for digital art so I started searching using terms like nuclear imaging and electron imaging and found the first picture below. It's a scanning transmission x-ray microscopy which they define as secondary electron imaging a topographical feature which can magnify up to 100,000 times. Not knowing what any of that means besides topographical and magnification I decided to search the image by uploading it to google. The other two pictures below are examples of what I found. The first one could have been a great discovery if I could read Chinese, the second one had some great reasons not to let people wear shoes from the street in a gym, and then I found the final image. The artists name is Desiree Kantrim and she is amazing. She works out of Jacksonville, Florida, was born in W. Europe, and has a BFA, and dual Master's in Linguistics and German Lit.

New idea for once I master OpenFrameworks: Have a collection called "Google" in which I take an image, search for related images, then compile a plethora of those related images using OpenFrameworks into a new image or series of images. (Nobody even think about stealing this idea). Just kidding :) let me know if you get any cool results!
