I've started to have some friendly conversations with people about how to talk about and eventually market the art I've been making as commercial decorative fine art or decor.
I keep coming up against two questions that I'm doing my best to answer:
Read more…If you don't think visual perception can be quantified in any way, you should probably bail on this discussion immediately. Since that is what it is about. Specifically, how can one work with the new controls within Studio Artist V5.5 to to customize
Read more…I keep noticing that almost no one is approaching video processing in Studio Artist the way it's setup to really do it. And i think part of the problem is that folks are used to working in other video programs like FCP, AFTEFX, PRIMR etc, where thei
Read more…I have the demo of Studio Artist. And, before going further, I must say it is an amazing program. I’m surprised it doesn’t have a higher profile. Maybe that’s because it’s so sophisticated.
Also, I’m a musician, so I know about John Dalton, and OSC
So I've been babbling a lot about generative art strategies recently. And people seem somewhat confused about what i'm talking about. So i'll try to provide some examples in this forum discussion. I'll be adding to this discussion over time to show
Read more…So as a part of my image database research i stumbled upon an interesting talk (for me) with Pietro Perona, who is a professor at Caltech who studies the visual system and image processing and computer vision and does a lot of image classification an
Read more…I thought it would be fun to start a forum discussion on different things you can do with Studio Artist 5 gallery show features. We'll start out super simple. and then get more elaborate over time in subsequent posts.
For a basic introduction to gal

Read more…There's an interesting critique article on modern abstract art i read today that i thought i'd pass on because it might be of interest for some of our users. The author asks the question, why does so much new abstraction look the same?
Read more…Thanks to John Dalton for this call getting some attention, and the recent answers from artists Stellatino, a73x15 (Alex), Ingrassia, and Bunner. Here I want to be more specific about submissions, prints, and sales.

Here's one quote i thought was interesting:
Patrik Vuilleumier at the University of Geneva and colleagues figured out that the amygdala, a part of the brain involved in emotions
Read more…One huge argument for working with digital art tools and techniques as opposed to some of the more 'traditional' approaches used to generate visual art in the past is the ability to avoid toxic chemicals associated with these more 'traditional' appro
Read more…This is apparently the current Meme of the day (ignoring what is going on in the rest of the world as far as revolts and nuclear meltdowns). I think it's probably obvious what my opinion is on this particular topic. But i thougth it might be interest
Read more…People well versed in different art fields tend to come at generating visual imagery from different perspectives. So when they switch from one way of working to another they sometimes are at a loss, since their well honed approaches to how they work
Read more…Seed magazine has a really interesting series of articles going now that focus on the concept that Art education should be incorporated into Science and Math school curriculums in order for America to become competitive with the rest of the world, th

Read more…Since the Forum is going away in June, has anyone started to make a copy of all the stuff in the Tutorials forum?I've made copies of some of the tutorial material on the main site, but haven't looked at the Tutorial Forum yet.I'm going to continue copying as much as I can for my own personal use anyway, but if anyone else is doing it, or has already started doing it, please let me know.Maybe we can co-ordinate our efforts. ps can't ..... believe John, would let this happen without so much as a…
Read more…I was crawling the streets of Matera, Italy today and may have discovered where SA is hiding! (see attached photo). Not meaning to make light of this great, sad mystery. But I just couldn't resist as I try to make sense of what's happening. Losing my connection to SA, Synthetik and John has been a great sadness... and if real, ends a monumental era in my creative life. love,~Victor
Read more…"The Overload"! A video with music, from the various experiments I made in Studio Artist with stuff that I have learned in the last few days, from tips and tricks I found by scouring this site and the Synthetik site for tutorials etc. MSG! Paint Synth with MSG Path Generation! Movie Brushes with MSG Path Start Generation! Time Particles! Time Particles with MSG Path Start Generation running Movie Brushes! All that, and more! Haha I have been trying to stretch the Paint Synthesizer in the…
Read more…Hi, here is the video I made back in 2010 for my song "Teenage Tongue Cult". I finally found my master folder of image sequence files for it on one of my old hard drives, and since the version I had on my Vimeo was of pretty terrible pixelated low quality visually, I re-did it yesterday. It has extensive use of Studio Artist through the whole thing. I made it by first animating the characters and scenes in Flash, against a mostly kind of muddy green background, a color I knew wasn't being used…
