Dataflow is a work-in-progress project exploring the representations of arbitrary data under different file formats.

It is a continuation of the themes first set out in my 2009 Databending with Audacity tutorial and artworks such as Some of My Favourite Songs and Sonification Studies.

A chunk of data is generated through a complex Pure Data patch. The binary data has no form of its own but represents a repeating pattern of 1s and 0s.

This piece was originally entitled Krap. It started out with the text and was a reflection on my mood. This I felt was quite negative so I added the faces and am now transforming it into a portrait of a man who loves music!

A reflection of my mood and also my first of this style to be drawn directly into the computer! It was a lot easier than I thought. In Inkscape I just pressed Ctrl + L to get rid of all of the extra nodes then smoothed it all out. This piece will make a lot more sense soon!

This is something that came from a drawing session awhile back. I took one aspect of the drawing and started repeating and morphing it. I’m thinking of incorporating some miscellaneous objects in there somewhere.

Here’s another screenshot.

Having some problems with the hair though…

Haven’t done a portrait in a while, let alone a self-portrait.

Just a work in progress. To be completed sometime soon

These are the last two screenshots I’ll show as it’s nearly finished. I don’t wanna ruin the final piece ;-) The other three are looking great as well. A few more minor adjustments to each and then off to print! Don’t forget to come along, join the facebook group or whatever!

I’ve really gotta make a move on with this work. Tomorrow I will have it all done!

All of the work’s almost done…

With the Insectoid performance over I thought it a good time to get on with the work for the upcoming B-VAC exhibition. It should all hopefully be done by next week. Here’s two progress shots in the meantime

Expect the usual infusion of colour!

Birmingham Visual Arts Coalition has an exhibition coming up, and I’m making some new artwork for it. As a little experiment I’ll be showing you the progress shots from one of the pieces. Any comments or suggestions are welcome!

Achieved today in Illustrator. You can also look at the Sketchbook page for more of an idea of what I’m doing.
