THIS IS WHY WE’RE HERE

We are interested in the exploration of the intersections of art, design and computer science to encourage new ways of seeing, thinking and creating in order to empower and inspire inventive, innovative and creative research, artistic and design practices.

THIS IS WHO WE ARE

CMD Journal is an educational magazine about computational media design. The magazine was started by Marjan Eggermont and Laurel Johannesson in 2010 both to learn more about and to become a forum for this relatively new field.

The Third and the Seventh | Johnston Architects

The Third and the Seventh is one of the most incredible films I have ever seen.

Here is a direct link to Roman’s site

That’s a profound statement, so let me back up a bit and give you some background.  The Third and the Seventh is a 12 minute movie by Alex Roman, a Spanish artist who began doing computer graphics work for a visual effects company in Madrid before getting into the architectural visualization business.  Roman became frustrated with the way that client preferences and demands colored images of completed buildings.  He took a year-long sabbatical to create a more “pure commercial illustration” of his favorite architectural creations from around the world.  The Third and the Seventh is the culmination of this work.

Full screen please!

Baroque.me: J.S. Bach – Cello Suite No. 1 – Prelude

Baroque.me (2011) by Alexander Chen. Video capture. baroque.me visualizes the first Prelude from Bach’s Cello Suites. Using the math behind string length and pitch, it came from a simple idea: what if all the notes were drawn as strings? Instead of a stream of classical notation on a page, this interactive project highlights the music’s underlying structure and subtle shifts.

Making an eBook is easy, regardless of your coding experience. This is good, because 99.9% of your time should be spent on writing and getting your book out there, rather than on technology.
