Qubik Reverberations



These images are all on invites for a series of events/workshops, entitled Reverberations. The word is used as a metaphor for the initial influences of the work the featured artists' now produce, my assumption is the artists' are the reverberations of this influence. Apparently the images were generated as a direct relation to this theme. I like the fact that a lot of work i've come across recently has been described as 'generated' rather than created, I reference to the coded element rather than an artist 'drawing' or 'painting', like there's more of a 'science' to it. For example, when I was doing as much geometry-related research as my brain could take in, I found an article on a 'Demienneract' or a '9-demicube'.

Basically what happens when you click on this link you are shown a preview of the image in the SVG format mentioned in an earlier post, so rather than what usually happens when you right-click/ctrl-click an image (ie. option to 'save image as...' or whatever), it allows you to view the image source. When the source code is viewed is there is an insane amount of x and y heights, showing the painstakingly numerically constructed images code. There's a real balance between maths and art.
