In the first assignment, our goal is to get familiar with python language and "create a composition based on computational manipulation of data."
When I brainstormed, I thought of Donna Haraway's A Cyborg Manifesto, especially the chapter THE INFORMATICS OF DOMINATION. This chapter talks about a new networks that we are transitioning to, and how do all the "old" class, race and gender transform to a new society. In the chapter, Haraway lists a few transitions from "the comfortable old hierarchical dominations (Organics of Domination) to the scary new networks of informatics of domination (Informatics of Domination)." For example, sex is transformed to genetic engineering in the new society; mind changes to artificial intelligence.
As what the word sounds like, the new society looks artificial. What I did in my simple sketch is that I take steps further and transform the word from strings to bytes, then convert the byte to image, then converts the color hex code back to texts. I call the new output "Colors of Domination." With letters and symbols, it tells a new story about how color thinks about the world.
Organics of Domination: "representation", "bourgeois novel", "death", "heat", "public/private"
Informatics of Domination: "simulation", "science fiction", "surface", "noise", "cyborg citizenship"
Colors of Domination: "sim uk` sio n\x1f", "sci enc e\x1ff cti on\x1f", "suq f c d", "moi se\x1f", "dyb org ci siz ens gip"
What is love? What does love mean? Artist Mount Eerie shows his meaning of love in the song "Love Without Possession" and I make the concrete poetry based on the song itself. The work is meant to explore the connection between image and lyrics, and how can word visualization enhance the song listening experience.
What would be the use in becoming a symbol of walking desolation?
“Love," a small word Unable to hold
While we stretch at its meaning
This love has no recipient
But still lies there smoldering
Indifferent stars in the night sky
I’ll know that when we collided We both broke each other open
