CODE + GENERATIVE ART

Code and generative art present a new way for Tatum to imagine her ideas. From game design to interactive installations, Tatum has created several projects which explore the interconnectedness between the beauty of art and the technicality of programming. Below are some samples of Tatum’s previous creations in this medium.

ROADS ALIVE

 

 

Roads Alive is a data visualization that uses data from the City of Kelowna’s Open Data library to visualize road systems in the city.

   

BEATS OF COLOUR

 

 

Beats of colour is a heartbeat visualizer that records a user’s beats per minute (BPM) and translates it into an artistic visual.

   

DIGITAL RECORD PLAYER – EXPERIMENT WITH EBSYNTH

 

 

Tatum’s digital record player project was inspired by a work she saw called “The Crow” by Glenn Marshall. To create this work Tatum filmed several short clips across the Okanagan and then stylized select keyframes in Photoshop. She then composited the finished video into an interactive record player which she coded in Processing.

   

CYBER SKYFALL

 

 

Cyber Skyfall is one of the first simple games Tatum created using Processing 3. She crafted both the graphics and code, to produce this basic 2d game.

Tatum’s OpenProcessing page has a few smaller works that she created during the early stages of her development as a creative coder/artist.
