New Constructs from Liquidjourney (workshop will be held in English) :..::..: check out Gary's other workshop about Discovering Beautiful Data

New Constructs will be a presentation of the latest and best work from Liquidjourney, an open source art / experimental project. Gary will
present several of his key works with insight into his iterative and often obsessive process in developing the concepts and in turn generating the work for the project. The presentation will include discussion and insight into the development of his real time digital creatures that move and react to their environment and exhibit seemingly intelligent behaviors. As well, there will be work showcasing other favorite topics, such as the use of algorithms based on controlled randomness and/or iterations that grow forests, flowers or environments real or imagined. Lastly, the whole presentation will look at the inclusion of the user by creating interactive and immersive experiences that encourage participation and help deliver a compelling and unique experience.
