Software Structures

Sol LeWitt is a famous American Artist who came up with the idea of wall drawings. A wall drawing is a set of instructions (a text description and optional diagram) outlining a visual structure to be executed on a wall. Based on his work, Casey Reas came up with the technological version called Software Instructions in which he came up with a set of instructions to be executed visually via a program. The interpretation is typically in the hands of the person executing the instruction. For more Information you can check it out HERE.

I decided to take inspiration from Casey Reas' instructions and make a few of my own instructions and create works that are interpretations of those instructions.

SoftwareInstruction1.mp4

A surface filled with circles of the same size moving at a relatively slow speed. Show the intersections of any circles that come into contact with each other but do not show the intersecting circles themselves.

SoftwareInstruction2.mp4

A surface filled with at least 100 lines connected to a single point.

SoftwareInsruction3.mp4

A surface with at least 100 lines connected to a single ever changing point. Show the connections in the present as the brightest while past connections fade away.
