Art with code

 

This exploration will be dedicated to Joshua Davis who uses fractal-based software to create art. 

Born in San Diego in 1971 Davis was introduced to the internet in the mid 1990's by a design student friend at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn where he studied illustration and art history. Self tought he worked in illustrations by day and HTML by night. He began with Future Splash Animator then by Flash 4 they had added scripting. At this time he was already familiar with JavaScript and DHTML. During the dotcom era David was a major force in web design. Now he had a combination of vector based design tool and programming. 

Because Flash vector based work allows him to scale any size he can create work using illustrator  vectors and dump them into Flash and then output in Post Script. He uses patterns of motion based on natural, semi random process for his current programs.

" The most complex print I've done had 120,000 layers in illustrator. The printer called and said 'How did you do this? How long did it take? And I said 'Oh five minutes"

The complexity of his compositions creates problems for printers causing them to crash when they try to separate CMYK on a file with thousands of layers, which excites him.

His inspirations come from life observations. The relationship of things in life. He works in a free flowing consciousness where he does not sketch the idea but begins exploring right away. He can create many things making mistakes to come up with one good idea.

                              

Today Joshua Davis travels for conferences, has produced  work and collaborated with many companies like BMW, Kanye West, Motorola, AMP Energy, Nike, Sony, Volkswagen, Toyota...and much more.
