What Creative Computer Graphics

Internet Culture

RND/ In which you ask – Robert, What creative computer graphics?

—

To consider an imaginary play space scenario or virtual oldskool GFX emulator – in which, by simply playing with this idea space, find yourselves actively taking part in an experimental journey to unpack the meanings of “Creative computer graphics.”

Note: ‘imaginary games’ are those one pretends to play – that are played with, or via “imagination.”

Example Context

Robert: What are creative computer graphics?

Indeed – some small conceptual art, ie. playing with ideas / a project to engage with notions and assumptions regarding, (eg.)

  • Ongoing (/mis) relationships between digital art/ global hyperreal Capitalism™
  • Humans and their odd computer design interfaces – tools / strange methodologies
  • The artificial natures of modern creativity

To consider there was somehow startling beauty andor refreshingly naive techno utopianism at play / work felt while browsing certain strange offline books featuring, eg. ‘those cool, deliciously abstract, distinctly non-photorealistic oldskool GFX’ – like first time someone watched Tron on deliberately lo-fi VHS suddenly sensed neon-DMT tinged near futures on the verge of local dimensional manifestation and wondered about the procedural emergence of critical cyberspaces.

Some art (aka images-as-culture-remix-process) presented here in nonlinear fashion from an easily found torrent – based on common ‘Liquid Internets’ information sharing principles “What’s online is already here” and “What’s online stays there.”

Artistic tools used in this project include crappy photoshop wannabe software “Gimp” – with filters including frames, paper texture, chromatic aberration, white balance, 3D object overlay.

Note: this RND project compiled for purposes of philosophical critique, historical data archiving / conservation and dissemination of public knowledge / delight – not to be sold for profit but shared for free as in libre [2] inspiration in open spirits of collaborative scientific aesthetic investigation which produce such wonderful graphical art, which would otherwise go unknown and unappreciated
