Hello hello.
Saw this on rhizome, thought it looked interesting and maybe in line with some of the things coming up at the moment. A new publication called 'form and code in design, art and architecture'.

Once the exclusive domain of programmers, code is now being used by a new generation of designers, artists, and architects eager to explore how software can enable innovative ways of generating form and translating ideas. Form+Code in Design, Art, and Architecture offers an in-depth look at the use of software in a wide range of creative disciplines.

Mandelbrot _ fractal veg

Sid just had a look at your post on the 3d mandelbrot and had a quick look at the site.
A while ago I took some pictures of a wierd and wonderfull cabbage/coliflower, that looks very much like the 2d fractal images, but in 3d
May be it's just an example of mathmaticians and physacists trying to decode the natural world.......... hmmmmmm maybe who knows.

I didn't eat it in the end...

Using computerized 'throat singing' and binaural beats. 'The Burning of Scholars' title comes from Emperor Qin Shi Huang's book burnings and burial of scholars. Created mostly from synthesized speech, by breaking down the phonetics and acoustics that form words and meaning, only the resonances remain.

1-bit symphony

simply genius! Love it..

Tristan Perich's 1-Bit Symphony is an electronic composition in five movements on a single microchip. Though housed in a CD jewel case, 1-Bit Symphony is not a recording in the traditional sense; it literally "performs" its music live when turned on. A complete electronic circuit—programmed by the artist and assembled by hand—plays the music through a headphone jack mounted into the case itself. 1-Bit Symphony is available from Cantaloupe Music.
