GOTO10 (HOLLAND) http://www.hybridvisuals.nl Shaping the Random || Quartz Composer and other generative experiments I remember those nights, planning technologies that didn’t exist yet, outsider science, futurist dreaming, half-magical. I was building another science, my science, wild science, robots and lasers and disembodied brains. A science that buzzed and glowed; it wanted to do things. It could get up and walk, fly, fight, sprout garish glowing creations in the remotest parts of the world, domes and towers and architectural fever dreams. And it was angry. It was mad science. Hybrid Visuals is the mad visual science of Joris de Jong. I live and work in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. |

ZANNE (HOLLAND) http://www.zanne.nl "When I found out the world is different from the world I dream of, I came into rebellion. A started to paint the world as I wanted it to be. First this were paintings on canvas, but soon a started to create my worlds by using computers. Computers gave me the great ability to put time into my paintings,so I fell in love with animation, using software like 3d max, after effects and Flash."As myths from different cultures have crossed and their symbols combined,the remaining task, for me, has been to read their hidden message. Ultimately, I believe, these compositions attempt to reveal the greater Unity underlying all cultural manifestations of the Sacred. But then, I do not want to use these symbols in a direct way, I want to translate and invent them again. I want to create my own visual language of emotions. |
