How would you draw the internet?
How would you draw the internet? I've picked some favs from the competition pot, see all here http://www.canyoudrawtheinternet.com/
"Can you draw the Internet? Children today are growing up in a world of technology and communications. They have never experienced a world without the internet, with every part of their day consumed by mobile phones, websites, computer games, apps, Xbox, you name it. We took this thought and 'thought' it would be interesting to find out what their perception of the internet actually is, by way of scribble, drawing, or piece of art. Then, to make things even more interesting we thought it would be great to get the creative industry involved. Why? To find out who's the more creative. The industry with all of it's wisdom, or the kids with their vivid imaginations."
Graffiti Analysis Sculptures & Graffiti Mark-up Language | Evan Roth
via blog.ni9e.com
Graffiti Analysis: Sculptures is a series of new physical sculptures from motion tracked graffiti data. Time is extruded in the Z dimension and pen speed is represented by the thickness of the model at any given point. This data is then 3D printed to create a physical sculpture that serves as a data visualization of the tag.

via vimeo.com
"MRO is a is a live audio/visual performance project by Refik Anadol (formerly co-founder of GRIDUO) in collaboration with Sebastian Neitsch and TRYEK that took place in Linz's Tabakfabrik during the opening night of Ars Electronica Festival - Frozen Music, 2010. (Original performance 19 min.)
“Frozen Music” is the title of the event that kicks off this year’s Ars Electronica Festival and also marks the official reopening of Linz’s Tabakfabrik. This venue, a former tobacco processing plant that’s been closed since September 2009, is one of Austria’s most significant industrial landmarks."
Russell Leng Geometric Paintings
Lose yourself in these beautiful paintings by Vancouver based artist Russell Leng.
Artist Statement
"My work is characterized by geometric forms interacting with organic marks. This is seen in a variety of ways, such as a rigid line next to a loose application of paint or gradient. I notice these relationships in nature as well; a tree breaking through a concrete sidewalk, or a housing development by a river. I want to examine these relationships between natural and built landscapes, conjuring a new sense of place. By confronting the viewer’s perception of landscape, I aim to question how these unceasing amalgamations change how we identify with our environments, and perceive ourselves in them."
