Building an Art x Tech Community Online & Offline with RGBdog

A few weeks ago, I had the absolute pleasure to chat with the inspiring Soyun Park and we took a deep dive into some of the projects her community studio RGBdog has worked on, most notable ‘Bedroom Liveout’ as the pandemic has made the need for a rapid transition to online experiences necessary for several creatives.

Soyun Park came into the field of Art x Tech quite recently, with a strong graphic background in Printmaking and Fine Arts, but has shined in her works, mainly created in visual programming software Touchdesigner. On her Instagram everything from AR effects to glitchy visuals, projection mapping to web UI/UX, music videos to graphic posters and sometimes just random fun experiments can be found.

A snapshot of some of Soyun’s incredible variety of works

What sticks out amongst this huge body of work is her playful style, her quick learning capabilities and her ambition to share and create collectively and engage with community of artists online. She talks more deeply about her learning journey diving into technology, and offers helpful advice and tips for all kinds of beginner artists looking to develop their visual style.

Our edited session chat is on IGTV and timestamps are available below for a quick scrub on all the topics we cover.

CellularAutomata.jl: Cellular Automata Simulation toolkit for Julia

Cellular Automata

A cellular automaton is a collection of "colored" cells on a grid of specified shape that evolves through a number of discrete time steps according to a set of rules based on the states of neighboring cells. The rules are then applied iteratively for as many time steps as desired.

mathworld.wolfram.com/CellularAutomaton

Elementary CA

To generate an elementary cellular automaton, use

ca = CellularAutomaton(rule, init, gen)

where rule is the Wolfram code (integer), init is a vector containing the initial starting condition and gen is the number of generations to be computed. For a single starting cell in the middle just omit the init vector.

To generate 15 generations of elementary cellular automaton of rule 90 use

using CellularAutomata

ca90 = CellularAutomaton(90, 16)
                            #

                          #   #

                       # #     # #                               
                      #   #   #   #

             # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #                     

Totalistic CA

For a more complex cellular automaton you can change the number of states k the cell can be and the radius r of neighbors that can influence the states. If k is changed to be larger than 2, a totalistic CA is computed where only the average value of all neighbors count. This can be done like this

ca = CellularAutomaton(993, 15, k=3)
                        X                         
                       XXX                        
                      X# #X                       
                     X     X                      
                    XXX   XXX                     
                   X# #X X# #X                    
                  X     #     X                   
                 XXX   ###   XXX                  
                X# #X # X # X# #X                 
               X      # X #      X                
              XXX    ## X ##    XXX               
             X# #X  #   X   #  X# #X              
            X     X### XXX ###X     X

2 dimensional CAs

Two dimensional cellular automaton (like Conway's Game of Life) can be created by

ca = CA2d(B, S, init, gen)

where B and S are vectors that have the numbers of neighboring cells that define when cell is born or survives, init (matrix) is the initial starting condition and gen is the number of generations the CA is to be computed.

Game of life is then run for 9 generations for e.g. a turbine pattern by typing

ca = CA2d([3], [2, 3], init, 9)

Building an Art x Tech Community Online & Offline with RGBdog

A few weeks ago, I had the absolute pleasure to chat with the inspiring Soyun Park and we took a deep dive into some of the projects her community studio RGBdog has worked on, most notable ‘Bedroom Liveout’ as the pandemic has made the need for a rapid transition to online experiences necessary for several creatives.

Soyun Park came into the field of Art x Tech quite recently, with a strong graphic background in Printmaking and Fine Arts, but has shined in her works, mainly created in visual programming software Touchdesigner. On her Instagram everything from AR effects to glitchy visuals, projection mapping to web UI/UX, music videos to graphic posters and sometimes just random fun experiments can be found.

A snapshot of some of Soyun’s incredible variety of works

What sticks out amongst this huge body of work is her playful style, her quick learning capabilities and her ambition to share and create collectively and engage with community of artists online. She talks more deeply about her learning journey diving into technology, and offers helpful advice and tips for all kinds of beginner artists looking to develop their visual style.

ART + AI

The idea that AI can infiltrate the field of art is frightening and rightfully so. While it has been no secret that AI can definitely replace blue-collar jobs and possibly threaten white-collar jobs, the idea that it can impact the livelihood of artists isn’t one that the media has foretold, nor have dystopian movies explored. However, we can see early traces of AI in art. It has slowly seeped into written literature, journalism, paintings and even music.

Having said that, this isn’t a novel (😉) idea. Sometime in the 90s, a music theory professor trained a program to write Bach-styled compositions. Then, to his students, he played both the real and computer-generated versions. To them, both were indistinguishable. Since then, technology has rapidly improved to a state that AI can create music of its own.
