Notes from the Danderground – FOTB Wednesday
Just because you read the words, “vector, 2D, 3D, madness” and “fun,” do not assume that this relates to anything creative. Trapped in the middle of a row for an hour of Koen De Weggheleire and what became clear was maths, code and more stuff looking like coded maths, was a little too much for a morning session.
Do not assume that ‘connecting the dots’ relates in any way to the age-old art of dot-to-dot drawing. Mario Klingemann delves into the complex patterns that infinite prime numbers can form when twisted and turned, pretty mind blowing, followed by an attempt at compressing and representing the Mona Lisa into Unicode Chinese symbols, all within 140 characters.
James Jarvis’ live drawing was a welcome distraction from the flash, indulging us with tales of a past life as a semi-pro runner, desires to be a sporting hero, love of Tin-Tin and how he develops the worlds his potato headed characters inhabit.
Josh Davis followed, showing off a few examples of his generative artworks and how they loosely related to the concept of space. Some great work, 2 cans of red bull and a plug for his iPhone app, at £1.79 – the sliding finger action of an iPhone unlocking was seen all around – He’s now taking 2 years off for some rest.

Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen has told Telegraph that, since Apple’s just not that into Flash, he and his almost ubiquitous plugin are moving on:

I wrote a blog piece back in February highlighting a trend I’d noticed. It seemed to me that Facebook terminology and imagery was beginning to be used more and more by consumers and brands as the platform becomes an integral part of more lives. I thought it was worth posting an update that since then, [...]

I’ve had an iPhone for over a year now and have become worryingly used to it’s touchscreen interface. I say worryingly as I tried to use my girlfriend’s phone last week which has a mixed interface (part touchscreen and part errr, ‘analogue button’) and I really struggled. I kept touching the screen to select different [...]
