'The creation of
Garden
warrants explanation. Zucconi has built an ever-expanding data base of images that he photographed in his pocket-sized, Philadelphia garden. This sometimes-unruly patch of urban habitat is also the domain of Polly, an adopted (and much loved) Chiweenie. (She frequently appears in this work.)
Garden
is a computer program that randomly samples database images which morph every 10 seconds or so—from dazzlingly intricate digital patterns to subtly transformed full screen stills.
As the program selects images from the database, it creates one of millions (very high millions) of visual permutations that hover between abstraction and representation in a neverland of combinations, repeating that process every few seconds. The
actions
in the process may include:
– Different sized grid masks are generated and a grid size is chosen
– Either 2 or 4 images are randomly selected and merged using the masks
– Images may be rotated along 90-degree increments
– Hues may be rotated along 90
-degree increments (yellows become greens, greens become blues, blues become reds)
– A specific strategy for hue-shifting is chosen per mask
A few different computational strategies are also at play. Each operates a little differently, yielding different visual output. Zucconi’s program coding invites John Cage’s 'chance operations' to wonderful effect.'
