Alex Dragulescu
Today's site features the work of Romanian artist Alex Dragulescu, whose
striking images find their basis in unexpected sources. Gentle Subscribers
may discover an entirely new perspective on mundane technological elements
after seeing their transformation into striking visual representations.
"Alex Dragulescu is a Romanian visual artist whose practice embraces both
traditional and new media. His projects are experiments and explorations of
algorithms, computational models, simulations and information
visualizations that involve data derived from databases, spam emails, blogs
and video game assets." - from the website
The site highlights a number of Dragulescu's collections, including an
exploration of more traditional sources in the Extrusions in C Major, based
on Mozart's Trio in C Major for Piano, Violin, and Cello, a remarkable
transmutation of note characteristics into visual images. Using ASCII
values found in spam, the artist has produced the dramatic works of the
Spam Plants series, while Spam Architecture represents a further variation
on junk e-mail from textual patterns, keywords and rhythms.
