slice-flower: a computational visual art work by aa-cell

Through the work slice-flower aa-cell explore the aesthetic potential of computational expression. The work is part of a series that explore the potential of algorithms that occupy 10 lines of computer code: a kind of digital haiku. Slice-flower features multiple dichotomies, between slices of a single image, between two semi-transparent images of foliage, between the natural photographic material and the synthetic computer code, and between restfulness and restlessness. The images are segmented into quantised portions, animated, and constantly drifting out of phase, only occasionally realigning.

Artist's Bio:
aa-cell are Andrew Sorensen and Andrew Brown

Andrew Sorensen is an independent software developer and media artist. Andrew has spent much of the past two years focused on Live Coding music performance practice and working on the tools and ideas that enable him to explore code as a medium for real-time media expression. Andrew is the author of the Impromptu audio/visual programming environment.

Andrew Brown is an active computer musician, media artist, and a builder of software tools for adaptive digital content. Andrews expertise is in technologies that support creativity, algorithmic music and art, and the philosophy of technology. He works as Associate Professor in Computational Arts at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and Research Manager at the Australasian CRC for Interaction Design (ACID).
