Computational media bring new complexities to the visual realm and the creation of visual forms. With the objective of examining theoretically and experimentally the creative process of image-making in the computer environment, a "system of dynamic visual formation" is proposed. The central argument is that images are no longer fixed, unique and eternal. Rather, what is created in computational media is a variable spatio-temporal module. Spatial and temporal properties of the system are defined. Ultimately, the investigation searches for the most elemental constituents of dyanmic visual formation moving towards a theory of dynamic visual language.
Because Visible Language is the oldest design journal, we support scholars by making PDFs of all back issues available. The full catalog of back issues is now available!
