B&W Forever!

“B&W Forever!” by LIA, 2013

“B&W Forever!” is a video that uses expanding rectangles to create complex monochromatic patterns. The use of black and white represents a steady balance between good and evil, form and void, and light and darkness. Occasionally, you can see the shades of grey, which means this existing state of dynamic equilibrium somehow might change to favor the other temporarily.

To me, the idea and concept of an art work is much more important than anything else, and artist is the one who can apply this to any form of art. There is no difference between computational art and other traditional type of art, such as watercolor or oil painting; all of them are undoubtable to be considered as original. It’s just an edgy way to bring the concept that the artist would like to convey to the society. Computer-generated art might not be able to have the same sense of warmness as handmade art because of the artificiality of the lack of flaw. However, it gives audience a different way, a more interactive way, to feel the aesthetics of art.
