Text

Transition 89 is a new audiovisual work by Lia and @c. Based on the composition "89" by @c, Lia has created a visual transcription of the sound in HD 16:9 format.

The complete soundtrack "89" was created during an artist in residency programme in the villages of Nodar and Fujaco (part of the Magaio cluster of villages in central Portugal). The audio piece incorporates the aural experience of the ecological, architectural and cultural contexts of the region, the residents of Fujaco participated directly through the usage of their recorded voices.

In Transition 89 LIA has taken an excerpt of "89" and, using her algorithmic engine and her knowledge of realtime performances, has created a subtle, graceful and delicate audiovisual composition. The constant structural mutations during the film – which triggered the title – are not only a reflexion on the compositional processes but also a comment on the nature of ecology, social and cultural dynamics.

The doors of the Liaworks Online Shop are finally open!

>>> SHOP

The Shop will start with a small range of limited edition prints derived from LIA's software artworks Arcs 21 (2009) and Re-move 08 (1999-2003), printed with archival quality inks on Hahnemühle 265g/m2 Fine Art Cotton Rag paper.

During 2012 the range of works will be increased, including prints derived from more of LIA's pioneering net- and digital- software art works, stills from live performances, physical and electronic objects, and more. Expect to see representations of all aspects of LIA's artistic output spanning the last 15 years.

We will also be offering selected works by LIA's friends and contemporaries.

A generative book that presents programmed images by various artists. Each print in process will be calculated individually – which makes every single book unique.

Connections No.5

eix = ix + myRads[k] * sin(getAngle(k) *PI/180);
eiy = iy + myRads[k] * cos(getAngle(k) *PI/180);
eox = ox + others[j].getRads(k) * sin(others[j].getAngle(k) *PI/180);
eoy = oy + others[j].getRads(k) * cos(others[j].getAngle(k) *PI/180);
bezier(ix, iy, eix, eiy, eox, eoy, ox, oy);

With Connections No.5, I worked with the principles of "body and physicalness, movement, play, lightness, empty space and curiousity."
In the resulting visual images, the connections are made to be more important than the invisible elements that they connect. These connections and the emitted rays of color (representing the "energy" of each element) define both the relationships and the spaces between the elements.

Five points seek connections to each other with curved lines, at the same time emitting colored rays. The points themselves are only perceived as the centers of activity of these connections and rays. A random number generator controlling various parameters ensures that no created image will ever be the same.
