It uses a mathematical simulation for generation to grow the flowers based on fractal geometry. The flowers were set to grow half way through the 5 minute animation. There is no \u201cdeath\u201d function in simulations softwares, so instead, I inverted the growth function which caused the flowers in the still life to glitch, break up, and ultimately disappear, a digital version of \u201cdeath.\u201d Instead of painting decorative patterns on the elements like Matisse did, I chose colors, and programmed a procedural pattern that would randomly evolve over the five minutes of the work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-724b4eef elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"724b4eef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div style=\"position: relative;height: 0;overflow: hidden; padding: 0 0 56.25% 0;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"niio-media-frame\" id=\"niioWidget1\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.niio.com\/1.1\/index.html?showinfo=false&hideinfobtn=true\n&autoplay=false&mute=true&hidefullscreen=false&controls=true&artworkid=15518&portrait=false&key=31ZTDKX1QF&invitationCode=93ry2vx29fuqg0n&poster=https:\/\/d363m4lzeyx92e.cloudfront.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/StillLife02.jpeg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen width=\"560\" height=\"315\"  style=\"position: absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height: 100%;\" ><\/iframe><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ffc81f9 text-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-tp-heading-title\" data-id=\"1ffc81f9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"tp-heading-title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"heading heading_style heading_style6a15270b33a8d style-1 \" ><div class=\"sub-style\" ><div class=\"head-title \" > <h3  class=\"heading-title   \"   data-hover=\"Claudia Hart\">Claudia Hart<span class=\"title-s \">  <\/span><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"sub-heading\"><h3 class=\"heading-sub-title  \"> StillLife - 1.2 <\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6947a73c niio-text-run elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6947a73c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1534863115961_38009\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\"><div class=\"sqs-block-content\"><div id=\"block-d6f289d2a52584f533e2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\"><div class=\"sqs-block-content\"><p>StillLife &#8211; 1.2 was inspired by the canonical Henri Matisse Painting, The Blue Window from 1913.

In this work, I tried to navigate the problem of interpreting the 19th century concept of a painting as reflecting the \u201cflatness\u201d of a canvas and the flat but fluid paint that sits upon it, but interpreted in a 21st-century 3D space. In the 21st-century simulations softwares, space is \u201cx,y,z,\u201d a Cartesian mathematical construction used by computers to generate the illusion of depth. The 21st century metaphor of a gridded \u201cmatrix\u201d is a powerful one, and The Matrix, the 1999 film by the the Wachowskis Brothers is a symbol of our time. In my still-life work, I am trying to express that perceptual change from the point of view of artist living in the now but feeling herself to be part of a continuity &#8211; the great tradition of 21st century painting.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-404289f8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"404289f8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div style=\"position: relative;height: 0;overflow: hidden; padding: 0 0 56.25% 0;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"niio-media-frame\" id=\"niioWidget1\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.niio.com\/1.1\/index.html?showinfo=false&hideinfobtn=true\n&autoplay=false&mute=true&hidefullscreen=false&controls=true&artworkid=15697&portrait=false&key=54LINXW5M2&invitationCode=714ju0wlff3rfq6&poster=https:\/\/d363m4lzeyx92e.cloudfront.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/StillLife03031.jpeg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen width=\"560\" height=\"315\"  style=\"position: absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height: 100%;\" ><\/iframe><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b9d11ee text-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-tp-heading-title\" data-id=\"b9d11ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"tp-heading-title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"heading heading_style heading_style6a15270b347d6 style-1 \" ><div class=\"sub-style\" ><div class=\"head-title \" > <h3  class=\"heading-title   \"   data-hover=\"Claudia Hart\">Claudia Hart<span class=\"title-s \">  <\/span><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"sub-heading\"><h3 class=\"heading-sub-title  \"> StillLife - 1.3 <\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4441ceb1 niio-text-run elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4441ceb1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"block-b4fc062c2dc1fd829ae2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\"><div class=\"sqs-block-content\"><p>StillLife &#8211; 1.3 was inspired by the Vincent Van Gogh sunflower still lives and his fields of wheat, all painted from 1888-1889.

The flowers were set to grow half way through a 5-minute animation that I later slowed to 10, because it \u201cfelt\u201d wrong. My approach to mathematics is as intuitive and expressive as the School of the Paris painters.

Having completed a BFA from Ontario College of Art and Design, McLeod is currently attending Digital Media at Ryerson University. McLeod\u2019s practice is at the cusp of intersecting new technologies. Borrowing from the media and mechanisms of social networking McLeod creates technically sophisticated 3D environments, that are as much backdrops for advertising campaigns, as they might be the cinematic narrative for a new music video.

His work challenges the boundaries between the real, the imagined, and virtual. Drawing on a wide range of sources, from science fiction to Baroque architecture, he creates bizarre, yet compelling narratives and imagery with the same high-end technology used in Hollywood or by video game designers. His work has been exhibited internationally, including solo exhibitions at bitforms gallery in New York, Spazio Ridotto in Venice, and Market Gallery in Glasgow. Group exhibitions include New Frontiers at the Sundance Film Festival, The Minneapolis Institute of Art, and Postmasters Gallery.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c68e9b0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c68e9b0\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-37ba0e1\" data-id=\"37ba0e1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bfc4149 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"bfc4149\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1186eae elementor-section-content-top elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1186eae\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8d0c01c\" data-id=\"8d0c01c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d97e708 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"d97e708\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div style=\"position: relative;height: 0;overflow: hidden; padding: 0 0 178% 0;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"niio-media-frame\" id=\"niioWidget1\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.niio.com\/1.1\/index.html?showinfo=false&hideinfobtn=true\n&autoplay=false&mute=true&hidefullscreen=false&controls=true&artworkid=16298&portrait=true&key=JMLCRUA9DR&invitationCode=vcq4omqgw6smv7z\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen width=\"560\" height=\"995.5555555555555\"  style=\"position: absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height: 100%;\" ><\/iframe><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9408e58 text-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-tp-heading-title\" data-id=\"9408e58\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"tp-heading-title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"heading heading_style heading_style6a15270b564e2 style-1 \" ><div class=\"sub-style\" ><div class=\"head-title \" > <h3  class=\"heading-title   \"   data-hover=\"Siebren Versteeg\">Siebren Versteeg<span class=\"title-s \">  <\/span><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"sub-heading\"><h3 class=\"heading-sub-title  \"> After Indifference <\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f23c217 niio-text-run elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f23c217\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p dir=\"ltr\">Siebren Versteeg\u2019s works exemplify a continued exploration of the intersections between code (Langue) and abstraction.
