Fragile Tension

Depeche Mode, video by the found collective. motion graphics by memo akten “Dancers were filmed, and along with footage of the band, fed into custom software. The software analyzes the footage, and in real-time outputs visualizations based on motion and numerous user-controlled parameters to adjust the behaviour, look & feel, various different modes etc. - later to be composited and finished in a traditional post-production workflow. (partly) made with openFrameworks.” [link] [video]

working in the fields of computer graphics and animations, lomas has contributed his visual effects to many block-buster hollywood movies like “the matrix” and many more. besides his commercial contributions he has been exhibiting his works at festival and in galleries internationally. his beautiful images are derived from algorithms and are generated using models of physical processes simulated and aggregated by the flow of thousands even millions of particles.

“The process is simple. It starts with an immobile seed particle placed in the center of a circle. Then, a new particle called a walker is launched. The walker moves randomly until it hits the edge of the circle or the seed particle. If the walker hits the edge of the circle, it disappears. If it hits the seed, it’s frozen and becomes part of an “aggregate” seed. One after another, walker particles are launched and deposited into an ever-growing aggregate. As the aggregate grows, it forms into a familiar kind of branching fractal pattern.” cgsociety
