I am very happy to see the vidoe after you give this Installation "Pollock In Action" took place during the Kunsthausnacht at January 27th, 2007 in the Kunsthaus Zürich
I Love The Video It Can Increase My Knowledge The accelerometer data is transmitted to the computer over serial (over air). The computer sends back the color information for the RGB-LEDs.
Steady I Really Like This Video The accelerometer data is transmitted to the computer over serial (over air). The computer sends back the color information for the RGB-LEDs.
Good, I like that you share this video, I wish success always Based on Stamen's Pollock sourcecode I built a physical interface to virtually paint like Pollock. The actual color was replaced by light.
Nice Video That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You ased on Stamen's Pollock sourcecode I built a physical interface to virtually paint like Pollock. The actual color was replaced by light.
I Really Like The Video From Your he accelerometer data is transmitted to the computer over serial (over air). The computer sends back the color information for the RGB-LEDs.
Saw a documentary once where there was a section telling how people tried to imitate Pollock, yet the connoisseurs could tell when it wasn't authentic,by the end of the experiment), because the brush strokes flying through space by a "normal" person do not have the same effect on canvas as an intoxicated artist does. I'm no expert, but seemed quite logical, to me at least.
What is art? Looks like people trying to measure it by the amount of forgers that can mimic part or most of your style...
After watching some of the participants, I think this better suited to something Paul McCarthey would do. Seems like this project is making more of a mockery out of painting rather engaging with it.
this is disgusting, there's no freedom no self-expression. art is not akjsdg;sadgk you can't express yourself through some electrical piece of equipment. art is from the soul man. it comes from inside. if you want to make art pick up a real friggin paint brush and go crazy! create something meaningful and beautiful! not some mechanised movements picked up by some screen, that is not what art is about!
@extrapixel83 hey my comment was solely to pollocks artistic style. the reinterpretation idea , technology nd the tools used are totally commendable. Good one. :)
@alpsify of course everybody is pollock.... this is the true meaning of art. everybody can be an artist think about you making those kind of paintings think about the state in which you would while painting this is art in its purest form an act that everybody can perform this is the true value of pollocks paintigs besides their objective beuty or do you think they are ugly...in any case you... think
It looks like a fun experiment as a group participation, however Pollock worked alone. He also applied the paint in a structured systematic layering; not just random dripping, throwing paint. Watch the movie that Ed Harris studied for nearly 10 years before enacting a dramatization of the artist. I also wonder how many people that comment in online sites have produced award winning published art or any at all? Do they know in the slightest, the artistic process? Mark Seibold- Artist-Astronomer
2*obviously its a game based around his work and i dont see nothing wrong with that and dont care where it is or who has done it i was more concerned about commentaries which are mostly trash
3*pollock became compromited for certain reasons
4*im not a big fan of pollock but surely he is a master and his works defend themselfs and if one cant see that well...
watch closely at him working and youll see he knows exacly what hes doing and is precise like a surgeon, nothing to defend really... americans just tend to make entertainment out of everything and make things very shallow... but that has nothing to do with his work... the movie shows that actually
hello, i agree with you. BUT, i'm not american, nor was the project or the location. it seems, people don't read the info about a movie before they post a comment. i think the comments are very interesting though, provoking lots of different discussions. thanks for this!
this very project was meant to be (it acually was!) a fun interactive toy. it doesn't judge pollocks work at all. it's a modern interpretation of his techniques. in contrast to pollocks work,this is not art, it's an experiment!
1*the movie shows whats going on the digital canvas and it has nothing to do with pollocks work in fact its a proof that its one of a kind and nor a child or a monkey would get similar outcome on canvas
@kamil0000kamil ...precision like a surgeon???????? Please don't let him operate on me....if you'd like him to operate on you...ok...but don't expect all your body parts to still be attached when you wake up....but hey...that's art!!!!!
@no1dagboy youve absolutely no point here, as every painter of great practise he had a surgeon like type gesture and used it in his work, for that and other reasons he stand this position it shows in his paintings
one cant compare Pollocks work to anything created today, it doesnt work like that. Pollock helped carry us to where we are today, all forms build upon previous forms. One must put themselves into the mind of someone who lived back then and understand the momentous leap Pollock had achieved with his art and how it affected the minds of his day. It was a break threw pure and simple..
...I won't lie I thought that was cool...but to say a Pollock is easy to do..hahaha..have you tried?
The man did MURALS people. HUGE FREAKING THINGS. And my God people, he's working with the New York School/Abstract Expressionism, it was about expressing, not creating "cool" pictures. These works go deeper than something "pretty" it's a reaction, an experience, a product of the times.
Read up on the movement before you talk and people lose brain cells. We all need those nowadays.
Everyone can't duplicate a pallock painting, never saw so much hatred for art rather it is duplicaed or not. Every artist inspires the next generation... what I believe is my own style I browse the web and find out there is soway... then again some folks only wanna embrace hings if they are done by their own people. Pallock used his body to express his message, rather, violent or peaceful... you below are not interesting to me... one who lives so... rich... shame on you :):)
Pollock is appealing because anyone can do it. Its a Democratic, or better demotic, point of view. We love the everyman, from George Bush to Paris Hilton, people of no particular talent that have gone on to stardom.
Pollock believed in art changing over time, and through this type of program the art is left to the chance and whim of many. It's many perspectives of art, if you will, form an artful consensus through artistic manipulation and compromise.
Pollock would approve of this, I'm sure. The nay-sayers call the creations derivative, but I've never seen identicals to those creations, and the inclusion of self in artwork makes the point void of reason. Even identical twins are not the same person.
really everybody can? Then how come Pollock was the only KNOW artist around the whole fucking world that used that technique? Pollock fucking created that style, he made it famous. So no, no one can be a Pollock, except for himself.
I don't think so, my point of view about this technique is used only for those repressed people that are so useless for make a beautiful draws or make beautiful combinations of colours creating great master piece that represent human being and only throw paint over canvas showing their ineptitude over this
it was an event called "art transforming". "pollock in action" and other interactive installations that "transformed existig art" were shown only that one evening in the Kunsthaus (Art Musuem) in Zürich, Switzerland. If you want to exhibit somewhere, just contact me ;)
Linuxlife captured the essence of my observation. of the paintings of this artist. A parent regards the finger painting of the child with affirming comments, assigning value to the childs work. Much like Pollocks's admirers. His art is that of a child inhanced by age, depression, and life experience
art and expression should not be exclusively for those who "understand" and "appreciate" the art. that is the beauty of art: its universality.
your opinion and your expression is no more important than that of others.
if you are right, i guess then that we should just simply deny all parents from putting up their children's fingerpaint works on their refridgerator. after all, much of wat they do is similar to the work of pollack.
I applaud what you did. I don't know a ton about Pollock but I think he would, in this day and age, really like something like this. You can look at it as people impersonating Pollock and as degrading of his work, but I see it as community-created, organically-happening and continual piece of art. Maybe it's because I'm a teacher, but things like this awaken creativity and interest in people that may otherwise have little interest in art at all.
wow. to the masses of people here who are angry that this piece of work exists do not understand who and what pollack was and did. he was innovative and created art that shifted from form to abstractedness. like pollack said, he put himself in the painting. it was not the painting, but the act of painting.
what this exhibit does is to explain this to the ordinary museum goer. pollack was an innovator, and those who deride this just do not understand his work.
YES YES YES by all means you are a designer - so design away! However as it would be for the artist there is always the issue of integrity. Pollack died for this issue as well as for some others - he was alchoholic afterall but central to the conflict of his life and art was this issue of INTEGRITY....I think people doing things like you have done here - sent him over the edge - desiger versions of what he poured his blood and soul into - ya know - knock out a pollack backgrounds to sell dresses

What have you done to that puts you above Jackson Pollock. What paintings do you have that are hanging in some of the most prominent and respected art museums in the world. Fuck you loser.
i read jellybutt100's other comments and it seems this person has some tissues,oop i mean issues. lol i am going to the MFA in Boston today and admire one of his paintings.
I think that the most important points are that what is produced looks good (to me), and I reckon that it's a please for Mr Pollock to do this. He produce something he likes and people can appreciate it. There's no need to make it more complex. Art is pleasure
Art is pleasure, art is pretty, art is just there to look good. Yes I'm sure YOU got it right...
As an art student- aspiring artist- i can tell you that art is a lot more then just pleasure. To put it this way- we don't make cool things just for the sake of it, just to get someone to say, awh, how pretty. And Pollock is saying a lot more then, oh look, a pretty splat.
Art is what "stimulate" you, for any reason. I'd rather tell it this way, because it do not reject ugly pieces. If you get something from art, it's fine, if it's not only money ^^. Art can raise questions (I think of very modern art, Cage pieces in music etc...) but it can just look good. I'm most in music, and I like a Cage composition as I like good old led zep or a jazz chorus.
this installation does not claim to be art. i am not an artist. i am a designer and like to experiment with new kinds of interaction.
Well, art isn't there to just look good, for sure! but as i said, this isn't art, its a design experiment. Besides of that, i agree with you about what you said about Pollock and his art.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
well i think whats interesting about pollock is the fact that all he did was drip paint on a canvas, its so completely simple and thats why he is famous...art doesnt have to be complex to be considered "good"...and the thing in the video looks like fun!
SIMPLY splashing paint was NOT all that pollock did- before he was an abstract painter, it was only later that he developed his unique style which he rememberd for today, and is rememberd for the reason that it is unique.
thumbs up for kenrben "Pollock was'nt a master, he was a man who liked to make a big primitive mess with paints of varying colors. How he enraptured the global art community with his splattering I may never understand. Dali was a master."
i think your completely missing the point of this installation. The face the audience can interact with the art in a gallery is very intresting. Also watching the way kids use the brush shows that its a exciting and captivating installation.
I doubt your 2 year old brother could design somthing as technical as this, but he might enjoy using it!
Kenrben of course Dali was a master, his technique and visions new no bounds, however viewing them both through the lens of 'art history' we can see clearly Pollock's impact was significantly greater. I think of Dali almost as an 'outsider' artist, a superstar celebrity of his time no doubt. But what you have to remember about Pollock is; Clement Greenberg who, through his writing and critique defined the world of abstract expressionism as the dominant practice of those times
The first steps by expressive Abstraction you can found in Paris 1947 by Mathieu in abstract Lyric. Later in NYC by action paintings of Jackson Pollock 1950 and 1960 Sam Francis San Francisco.
well the fact that "there is no skill in" it ... is part of its genius... and it definately gets people involved and participating... from one artist to another i say congratulations.... you have made a controversial, interactive project that leads people to think critically and explore the past and future... nice work.
Pollock was'nt a master, he was a man who liked to make a big primitive mess with paints of varying colors. How he enraptured the global art community with his splattering I may never understand. Dali was a master.
Would you rather me compare him to some obscure painter of little significance? I made reference to Dali because he is one of a handful of iconic artists who had such a cultural impact and lasting influence that they have a place in the pantheon of art gods.
i have mixed feelings about this. Looks like fun, but yea , I agree with CrazyJustin, I don't think Pollock would have been too impressed with this. They are pretty much bastardizing his work.
This shit is NOT art. Any fucker can do this. Drawing lines all over a pice of paper and selling for 150 million dollars... how sad can people to be to make it and worse buy it.
I just think that doing that is not really art. I mean there is no skill in making it. And then for one of them to be sold in the hundreds of millions range is just absurd.
so i guess you're talking about pollocks technique, not my project.
Well, what is art then in your opinion? "Skill" has no meaning for art in a modern sense. At least in my opinion.
Second point - have you actually tried to paint like pollock? I mean with real paint? I'm so very sure you would not be able to create such stunning images as pollock did.
I suppose you have a point. I suppose the price of all art is a bit daft. Its just that I prefer realism and think that a heck of a lot more skill goes into that than Jackson Pollock's work
Not very fond of this idea. When Pollock used this technique he was not just splashing paint around to make pretty or interesting pictures. There was an underlying dynamic to it.
Plus, this was his personal method. Let him keep and don't turn it into a saturday afternoon game.
Nice installation. I love these interactive ones. Very original in concept. I had a concept to do 'something like this' in sculpting. Still waiting for technology to catch up with me ;-)
thx puppyZwolle. have you seen the fluidforms-project? they used a (real) punching bag to shape virtual lamps. These lamps are then produced and you can buy them.
search youtube for "fluidforms" or visit the website fluidforms(dot)at
Very interesting project and I'm sorry to have affended you. The title is misleading...the artistic praxis + process is a sensational journey for all...analysing ...especially Pollock is another issue... It is fascinating what technology can do and you should work closer with a painters. This work if developed has alot of promise...though the final outcome has a superficial and decorative public servant attitute towards art and Pollock something he would've hated.
aira9art, true, true, not everybody seems to have the talent of Jackson Pollock.
I must admit that the technological aspect of this project was closer to me than the artistic one. However, it was just an experiment. And, quite a successful one! Dozens of people have played with it that evening, and they liked it a lot.
I'm an active artist and it's painful to see art especially Pollock being used and unconsiously abused by the bourgeoisie. I use You Tube for fun in my spare time not to show my art but my amatur art videos I dont need to change anything and I love speaking my mind and protecting art from public servants like you
Please go and read the documentation about the project, so you better understand what it all was about, what my background is and why a purely artistic point of view is wrong to judge this work. I'm sure if you could have tried it, you liked this new kind of Man-Machine-Interface. Cheers!
ps: your profile and comment don't seem to have "no smell no flux no rhythm no energy "... wanna change your name?

Pollock died for this issue as well as for some others - he was alchoholic afterall but central to the conflict of his life and art was this issue of INTEGRITY....I think people doing things like you have done here - sent him over the edge - desiger versions of what he poured his blood and soul into - ya know - knock out a pollock backgrounds to sell dresses

I think that the most important points are that what is produced looks good (to me), and I reckon that it's a please for Mr Pollock to do this. He produce something he likes and people can appreciate it. There's no need to make it more complex. Art is pleasure
trojanlol 3 years ago 3
Art is pleasure, art is pretty, art is just there to look good. Yes I'm sure YOU got it right...
As an art student- aspiring artist- i can tell you that art is a lot more then just pleasure. To put it this way- we don't make cool things just for the sake of it, just to get someone to say, awh, how pretty. And Pollock is saying a lot more then, oh look, a pretty splat.

Art is what "stimulate" you, for any reason. I'd rather tell it this way, because it do not reject ugly pieces. If you get something from art, it's fine, if it's not only money ^^. Art can raise questions (I think of very modern art, Cage pieces in music etc...) but it can just look good. I'm most in music, and I like a Cage composition as I like good old led zep or a jazz chorus.
trojanlol 3 years ago
this installation does not claim to be art. i am not an artist. i am a designer and like to experiment with new kinds of interaction.
Well, art isn't there to just look good, for sure! but as i said, this isn't art, its a design experiment. Besides of that, i agree with you about what you said about Pollock and his art.
extrapixel83 3 years ago
YES YES YES by all means you are a designer - so design away! However as it would be for the artist there is always the issue of integrity.

well i think whats interesting about pollock is the fact that all he did was drip paint on a canvas, its so completely simple and thats why he is famous...art doesnt have to be complex to be considered "good"...and the thing in the video looks like fun!
makethebetty 3 years ago
SIMPLY splashing paint was NOT all that pollock did- before he was an abstract painter, it was only later that he developed his unique style which he rememberd for today, and is rememberd for the reason that it is unique.

he was a master. there is nothing in nature in the hidden nature of universe as interesting as the perfection the action gesture.

i think your completely missing the point of this installation. The face the audience can interact with the art in a gallery is very intresting. Also watching the way kids use the brush shows that its a exciting and captivating installation.
I doubt your 2 year old brother could design somthing as technical as this, but he might enjoy using it!
eastwood1 3 years ago
Kenrben of course Dali was a master, his technique and visions new no bounds, however viewing them both through the lens of 'art history' we can see clearly Pollock's impact was significantly greater. I think of Dali almost as an 'outsider' artist, a superstar celebrity of his time no doubt. But what you have to remember about Pollock is; Clement Greenberg who, through his writing and critique defined the world of abstract expressionism as the dominant practice of those times

The first steps by expressive Abstraction you can found in Paris 1947 by Mathieu in abstract Lyric. Later in NYC by action paintings of Jackson Pollock 1950 and 1960 Sam Francis San Francisco.

Would you rather me compare him to some obscure painter of little significance? I made reference to Dali because he is one of a handful of iconic artists who had such a cultural impact and lasting influence that they have a place in the pantheon of art gods.

i have mixed feelings about this. Looks like fun, but yea , I agree with CrazyJustin, I don't think Pollock would have been too impressed with this. They are pretty much bastardizing his work.
Alxxxs 4 years ago
bastardizing? i would say, I experimented with new kinds of interactions, re-interpreting pollocks work.
but, i agree, pollock would most probably hated this. But - I don't care, like he didn't care about most things.

so, are you talking about pollocks action painting technique? if so, you're probably wrong and don't know what pollock did for art.
if you think my installation, "Pollock In Action" is not art, you're completely right! It's experimental interaction design, it's not art!
extrapixel83 4 years ago
I just think that doing that is not really art. I mean there is no skill in making it. And then for one of them to be sold in the hundreds of millions range is just absurd.
adx1rulez 4 years ago
so i guess you're talking about pollocks technique, not my project.
Well, what is art then in your opinion? "Skill" has no meaning for art in a modern sense. At least in my opinion.
Second point - have you actually tried to paint like pollock? I mean with real paint? I'm so very sure you would not be able to create such stunning images as pollock did.
extrapixel83 4 years ago
I suppose you have a point. I suppose the price of all art is a bit daft. Its just that I prefer realism and think that a heck of a lot more skill goes into that than Jackson Pollock's work

analiborges 4 years ago
Not very fond of this idea. When Pollock used this technique he was not just splashing paint around to make pretty or interesting pictures. There was an underlying dynamic to it.
Plus, this was his personal method. Let him keep and don't turn it into a saturday afternoon game.
(Just my opinion.)
km90210 4 years ago 3
absolutely agree
letskilltt 4 years ago
yes, i completely agree with your first point. But, in theory, you could be virtuous with my installation, too ;)
But I don't agree with your second statement. There has always been and will always be re-interpretations of existing art...and I think that's good.

Very interesting project and I'm sorry to have affended you. The title is misleading...the artistic praxis + process is a sensational journey for all...analysing ...especially Pollock is another issue... It is fascinating what technology can do and you should work closer with a painters. This work if developed has alot of promise...though the final outcome has a superficial and decorative public servant attitute towards art and Pollock something he would've hated.

aira9art, true, true, not everybody seems to have the talent of Jackson Pollock.
I must admit that the technological aspect of this project was closer to me than the artistic one. However, it was just an experiment. And, quite a successful one! Dozens of people have played with it that evening, and they liked it a lot.
extrapixel83 4 years ago
I'm an active artist and it's painful to see art especially Pollock being used and unconsiously abused by the bourgeoisie. I use You Tube for fun in my spare time not to show my art but my amatur art videos I dont need to change anything and I love speaking my mind and protecting art from public servants like you
aira9art 4 years ago
Please go and read the documentation about the project, so you better understand what it all was about, what my background is and why a purely artistic point of view is wrong to judge this work. I'm sure if you could have tried it, you liked this new kind of Man-Machine-Interface. Cheers!
ps: your profile and comment don't seem to have "no smell no flux no rhythm no energy "... wanna change your name?
