Wirescapes

Wirescapes is an exploration of the machine as conduit to the art idea. The user interacts with a Virtual Sculpture Interface (VSI) to create digital “action paintings.” Dynamic scripts generate infinite forms and fleeting moments of beauty and chaos. Wirescapes presents opportunities for the viewer to see the creative process differently and capture what is in the moment.

Wirescapes 1.0 is an interactive virtual sculpture and action painting tool. The viewer relates with various shapes—polka dot, ball, box, paint squiggle, fragment of geometry—to control the substance of the creative expression, including object and background color, orientation, spacing, velocity, direction, form, canvas size, and transparency. A click on the canvas captures a still image.
