I went to see “decode” exhibition at V&A. It’s about digital art, and the main theme is visualization by codes, network and interactivity.
Lots of different data were used to visualize, but I liked the one with Twitter, Social Collider. Visual design was good too.
I also liked Body Paint which really simulates “painting” using body with its texture. And the one called Light Rain has a very fine graphics. It’s done by Japanese group. Yey! 😛 Venetian Mirror shows your picture little by little, so that you would feel like you have become a ghost!
Writing codes and preparing physical interactivity must be already difficult, but the more difficult point might be how to present them and how to evoke emotions from audience. I really admire these digital artists! Also I was so amazed how these digital “codes” move as if they are organic.
By the way, they are showing the pieces by Aaron Koblin whom I wrote about before too.
The decode is open until 11th April at V&A. Timeout is giving a voucher until the end of Jan too.
