Jim Andrews’s chosen mode of creation is a form of web publishing that combines literary and image generation, sometimes referred to as “visual poetry,” a form of animated words and pictures. Andrews’s work often introduces interactive online elements and, what he calls, viewer engaged “painterly cinema.”
DbCinema is a graphic synthesizer and “langu(im)age processor” that generates both still and moving image. DbCinema is a system programmed by the artist to create works of “generative art”; the creation of images, in whole or in part, by an autonomous system.
For this installation, Andrews presented 2 works, jimAndrews4.mp4 projected in the Techlab, and jimAndrews6.mp4 on a monitor on the exterior window of the TechLab.
Presented as part of the exhibition Scenes of Selves, Occasions for Ruses.
