This is a three part collaboration series with Cano (@cryptocloudx). These clouds are generated with voxels, and my contributions are the compositions and colors. The textures in these are repeater patterns processed with sonification through Audacity - a very specific filter setting that generates these OP-ART looking patterns from black and whites. The simplicity of cano's clouds contrasted with the absurdly complex patterns and color palettes is meant to feel a little like staring over a landscape you can't really take in to the comfort of clouds. The series of three explores three different shapes, three different collections of the dizzying patterns composed together.

It's interesting to me that so much so-called "new media" art has to do with lights, clouds, statues, astronauts - things airy, spacey, and detached. Do we focus on the detached things because it feels freeing compared to all the busy details of what we actually have to do day-to-day? Do we focus on them because so much of our life is virtual - and we identify with things airy and detached? I don't know. Maybe clouds are just nice to look at.
