Digital Art the new Age/Revolution

Created by: Robert Hodgin

Using an image manipulation programme this artsist has created a very strange and interesting peice of work. I think the main focus in the image is the hair like stroke filling the page. Because of their spacing and thickeness it looks like a close up photograph a eyelashes. When we look into the background we can see that this cant be eyelashes because this hair like texture goes on and on. There are also bubbles like bits that look attached to the hair. The closer ones are black and as shiny as glass and the ones placed inthe background are less focused, not as shiny and white. The image is almost all black and white making it very powerfull and intense and also lets us concentrate on the detail and depth of the picture.

Made with a 3D modelling programme, this video is hypnotising with its bright colours and bursts of light. The main animated shape in the movie changes size throughout to suit the music but always looks smooth, slippery and flexible. It also looks like it it floating around. It sometimes duplicates and leaes parts of itself behind which disolve into a small burst of light. Ramdon patterns appear in the background as if they are being drawn in light. The main shape also seems to spit out has flocks of birds which start to fly and then dissapear.

Designer has used photoshop to manipulate this photograph. The cloud has been modfied to look like a pointing finger. The colours of the image are very dark, dull and mostly grey. All the of the lines in the image are very straight and thin. The grss has been made to look smooth as if the wind is blowing and also the road look flawless and smooth. The road is just a little further to the left than the viewer would see it if they were driving th car. Enough room has been left so that the sign, poloce car and the cloud can be seen well.

The sculpture itself is a suspended blue tank, four by seven meters, in an large room with wooden floors and a marked-out interactive area. The space is charged, light refracting through the water, revealing its surface tension. When a participant walks through the room they will be able to see the water in the tank above rippling directly above themselves. Also light and dark water ripples are reflected onto the walls giving the participant a feel of walking on water at the same time as being underwater and watching their own footsteps. The floor is laminated wooden floor which makes the person feel like they are still standing in a room making the experience all the more bizzare. The walls are white so that the refelecting water can be reflected without the interuption of colours or patterns.

Maya was used to construct the levels and place hazards and obstacles. The graphics themselves were based on using and animating Bezier curves. The characters in the game and alot of the scenery are very jelly like. Everything is 2D and there has been no effort to give it more shape with colour or texture. All of the colours are very bright and flat. The lack of opacity in some of the background scenery give it some depth. Most of the lines and landscapes in the game are wavey and curving giving it a flowing and fun feel. Most of the shapes in the game are circular and able to squash when hitting things adding to the bouncy and squishy fun effect.

I have found some designs from the recent past that could have been influences for the friendly and happy characters in Locoroco. Such as:

Happy tree friends - 1999

Stickathing - ?

I have also noticed that it is very possible for Locoroco to have influenced the following:

Patapon - 2008

Littlebigplanet - 2008

To create this interactive art installation Flash/Director and probably some image manipulation programmes have been used. It would have taken a long time to make with a team of people working on it. Almost everything in every scene is made up of quarter circles giving it its own visual theme throughout. The bright colours of the scenery and characters contrast nicely with the black background. A new character appears in the dark woodland scenery its cute quarter circle shapes and bright colours create and exciting and thrilling atmosphere and also looks like it is glowing. The scenery and characters look 2D throughout but sometimes it is given depth as images get closer and further away and run through the trees. The images are very flat and smooth and there is always a very calm and aesthetically pleasing background.

This image has been manipulated using photoshop. The technique used is extremely simple and fast. To produce it the designer has taken a photograph of a tree, rotated it, copied and flipped it. The image may have been skewed or stretched a little maybe using the liquify tool to that it represents the shape of a pair of lungs well.

The lines in the image are very spindly and brittle like and due to the quantity and positioning of the lines we can see depth and detail and giving it more of a 3D feel. The lines do well to represent veins as they are similarly positioned and run from thick to thin and from little to many towards the outside. The image being black and white has a very powerful effect and lets the viewer concentrate on the impressive idea and the detail of each branch/vein. The image looks very delicate and but the branch like veins give it a brittle effect. The shape Obviously resembles a pair of lungs but also has a spider like look to it.
