This is the latest sneak preview for Glenn Marshall’s Zio – an interactive generative psychedelic visualizer:

Presently you can change most of the branching and shading and can easily navigate with dragging/pinch zoom and rotate.  You can pause the animation at any time and still interact/move around, and also save pictures to your photo library.

The interface is just a temporary one at the minute for testing, it will be redesigned and probably have twice as much features seen in the demo – including particle motion and trails and the ability to tweak the underlying math and algorithms.

This demo is a screen cap of the iPhone simulator – at times the frame-rate is jerky – but actually runs okay on the real device! (don’t know why that should be).

Zio is still in developement and Marshall is looking into various options for letting the iPhone access audio, so that the visuals may be able to react to music.

If Marshall can get this right, though, Zio could be one of the coolest apps yet for the iPhone.

Here’s a video update from Glenn Marshall of his Zio generative music video application.

Gorgeous, isn’t it? Read more…

Glenn Marshall – The Nest That Sailed The Sky, Computer-generated Visualisation 2009

Glenn Marshall does something that few video artists do – he makes abstract videos, based on generative processes, that are full of beauty and wonder.

His work is almost a visual analogy to Brian Eno’s work with generative music.

This is his video for Peter Gabriel’s The Nest That Sailed The Sky.

First demo video of computer artist Glenn Marshall’s ‘graphic synthesiser’, or the G-synth, as it’s now called:

This is  a culmination of a years self-teaching and exploration of programming using the Processing language.

It’s a tool and instrument for myself as a digital artist, which will hopefully keep my work fresh and innovative, and inspire others to teach themselves programming to build their own artistic technology.
