So, I stumbled upon this artist today in the Arts section of the Huffington Post- Jody Zellen. As her bio states, "Jody Zellen is an artist living in Los Angeles, California. She works in many media simultaneously making photographs, installations, net art, public art, as well as artists' books that explore the subject of the urban environment". Her animations are so strange and so different. I really like the simplicity of them. She obviously has more knowledge of coding than I do, but she is still keeping it simple. I am assuming that in her "code art" that the drawings were created using just code. This is kind of over my head, but we did take a processing class last year, so I am a little more familiar than I would have been. You will also notice that when you hold your mouse over some of the animations that the hand pointer shows up, which means you can click on it and the animation becomes interactive. I was able to find one of her animations on youtube (youtube version not interactive):
I do like her use of installation, photography, video, and books. She is like a variety pack! This is right up my alley, minus the coding! I am always drawn to an artist's process and use of medium. That is always more important to me than their concept or meaning. She seems like someone who is worth researching a bit more.
