Agenda
7:00pm - Introduction and talk
8:30pm - Discussion and Q&A
Synopsis
In my virtual talk, I'll present various facets of Aleph Null, the second graphic synthesizer I've written. I started Aleph Null in 2011. I'm working on version 4.0. I wrote it to explore some of the possibilities of generative visual computer art in an online, interactive environment. It's part tool, part work of art. Some of the art I've created with it can be found at https://vispo.com/cv/ja.htm . Some of this work is purely visual; some of it is more textual. Version 4.0, which may or may not be published by the time of my talk in September, will present the software itself and some projects I've created with it recently – see the links below...
