Throughout the process of creating my designs for my “white noise” sound for project 1.1, I kept thinking about semi-imperfect repetition. White noise sounds to me like a seemingly endless, continuous sounds with slight variation throughout. After some additional thought, my mind kept returning to fractals and 3D modeling, which I imagined was an at least somewhat related artistic representation of what white noise could look like.
Below is the work of British digital artist and computer scientist William Latham. Latham uses complex computer technologies as well as genetic algorithms of organic life forms to create these fascinating, weird floating models. These designs of repetition and complexity in the midst of nothingness have inspired me to think more about how to possibly add depth to my designs.
