Decode - looks worth a visit

The is an interesting show at the V&A called Decode

V&A Decode generative identity from postspectacular on Vimeo.

The website (done by the boys at Saint) describes it as follows:

"Digital technology is providing new tools for artists and designers. Innovative, often interactive, displays use generative software, animation and other responsive technologies to install a 'live' element into contemporary artworks. Some works exist in a state of perpetual evolution; others are altered by the behaviour of the spectator.

From designs that draw on the barest fundamentals of code – the zeros and ones of the binary system – written by a single programmer, to art that encompasses a global collective of online creativity, many of the exhibits here defy traditional design categories. They blur the boundaries between practices, between programming and performance, creator and participant"

Here are some of the images - looks worth a visit.

Anything to do with data visualization is pretty intriguing at the moment - our Data Planner Darren loves this example of British, French, Spanish and Portuguese colonial history.
