Four Letter Words is an arrangement of fluorescent light fixtures as an alphabet controlled by algorithms. Consisting of four units, each one is capable of displaying all 26 letters of the alphabet.
The piece displays an algorithmically generated word sequence, derived from a word association database developed by the University of South Florida between 1976 and 1998. The algorithms take into account word meaning, rhyme, letter sequencing, and association.
amazing rendition of radiohead’s “nude” by james houston. this is james’ final project for a visual communication class at the school of art in glasgow, scotland. this remix uses no traditional instruments, though… he used old computer hardware to create all the sounds in this version: sinclair zx spectrum – guitars (rhythm & lead), epson lx-81 dot matrix printer – drums, hp scanjet 3c – bass guitar, hard drive array – act as a collection of bad speakers – vocals & fx.
nothing short of amazing here. take some time to put on headphones and give this a try. i think you’ll like it!!
