Drawing & Physics: Octave Engine

This really has to be tried out to be believed - incredibly addictive and fun. It is a drawing program where you can set physical attributes to the things you draw, and the different elements then interact with each other to create truly magical results. I am so glad there are people that can do this sort of thing.This comes from a collective called Everyone Forever, who are “[an] expanding report of exploratory thinking and doing from the edges of every discipline; from Aerobics to Zoology and everything in-between.”

Advanced Beauty

Amazing!!! Stumbled accross this today, some really incredible work here and really interesting ideas - well worth an explore.

“Advanced Beauty is an ongoing exploration of digital artworks born and influenced by sound, an ever-growing collaboration between programmers, artists, animators and architects.

Using many bespoke animation techniques including generative, physics simulation and audio-analysis software, the work is a collection of ‘video sound sculptures’.

Curated by Sheffield-based design studio Universal Everything and musician Freeform Advanced Beauty is an international collaboration, taking in a family of artists from Russia, New York, Japan, Buenos Aires, Glasgow to San Francisco. “
