WURM App - Generative Art One of my latest addictions on my iPad is WURM for creating experimental generative art.  The developers did a fantastic job giving you patterns, colors and shapes to play with, and then you can fine tune your masterpiece with all of the controls.  WURM even has a blog setup on Tumblr (gallery.wurmapp.com) that showcases all the user submitted art.

Andy Gilmore—Currentes Like much of Andy Gilmore’s art, Currentes consists of brightly saturated colors and interesting geometry patterns.  Chances are you’ve seen his work on Gold Panda’s latest album or in a number of magazines including Wired, The New York Times and Wallpaper*. Named after the symbol for square music notation, which consists of diamond shaped notes in descending scale, Currentes is indicative of Andy Gilmore’s arresting, color-saturated, pixel-based work.   The 11” by 14” print is on sale at The Ghostly Store.  This will be one of the first prints to go up on the wall at the new office.

Colors Sculpted by Sound

How do you bring colors to life?  Denstu London created this fantastic spot for Canon’s Pixma brand that sculpt color using sound waves and high-speed photography.  The shoot was directed by self-taught Christopher Hewitt—the best education is always hard work.

Denstu London was also behind the recent Making Future Magic: iPad Light Painting experimental project.  Also, see Christopher Hewitt’s Sphere’s of Fury music video.

Octopus Steals a Diver’s Camera and Directs an HD Feature

Sure the title might be a bit sensationalistic, but the colorful excitement this free diver and octopus capture is pretty incredible.  After a five minute chase the diver manages to make a trade for his camera by offering the octopus his spear gun.

The diver’s account of the chase…

While trying to get video of a wild octopus, it suddenly dashed towards me and rips my shiny new camera from out of my hands, then swims off, all while the camera is recording! he swam away very quickly like a naughty shoplifter. after a 5 minute chase, I placed my speargun underneath him and he quickly and curiously grabbed hold of the gun as well, giving me enough time to reach in and grab the camera from out of his mouth. I didn’t feel threatened at all during the whole ordeal. he seemed to be fixated on the shiny metallic blue digital camera. the only confusing behavior was how he dashed off with it like a thief haha. cheeky octopus.
