Building art making machines.
“Fundamentally, art/design has been taught as very static process… executing style/method and arriving at an end result”, says Joshua Davis. “I prefer to write programs (or machines, as I like to call them)… and it’s these programs that generate the compositions for me. With this method, the end result is never static; making room for as many anomalies as possible, every composition generated by the programs I write is unique to itself. I program the ‘brushes,’ the ‘paints,’ the ‘strokes,’ the rules and the boundaries. However it is the machine that creates the compositions – the programs draw themselves.”
In this workshop, Joshua teaches how he uses Macromedia Flash 8 and ActionScript to build his celebrated art making machines.
