Transcript of Joshua Davis
Process• Draw “icons” in Illustrator (4 days)– Text, organic elements, forms taken from nature
• Write program (4 days, depending)• “Wait” (few weeks-a month)– Time frame for “waiting for that perfect composition, that beautiful accident”
Exploring new techniques through
programming• Using media that is unfamiliar or experimental or even (seemingly) useless
• Keeps things interesting for all parties concerned
• Failing a lot
Loss of control…
• Pollock as an idea/gesture• Paint leaving the brush• Creating Davis’ gesture• Medium has it’s own attitudes, moods, compositions etc.
• Letting go of the reigns and giving the elements “coke”
“Art will always mutate into something else”
• Living organisms/icons
• Program movement on nature (flowing water , wind, insect movements)– Millions of iterations
– Millions of compositions
Saturated surroundings• Know our surroundings too well
• Minute design elements
• Japan– “Hard to see your environment, when you are in your environment… amen!”
Work Like Hell
• Keeping motivated through themes– Exploring “broken” or unfamiliar media (programs)
– Loss of control– Leaving your “familiar environment for a new unfamiliar one”
• Who notices• There are those that talk about working and those who work
