Abstract Browsing is a project that consists of both software and physical objects. The browser plugin is a free software that anyone can install. When you turn it on, you can surf the web but all web content is reduced to colored rectangles. It shows you the skeleton of the web. It’s like seeing an X-ray of a building, showing the structural elements. Web pages are built of many smaller elements, information is organized and categorized. Text, images, tables, things we use every day but are not aware of.
Algorithmic Art Assembly is a San Francisco based conference and music festival showcasing a diverse range of artists using algorithmic tools and processes in their works. From live coding visuals and music at algoraves, to virtual reality, gaming, augmented tooling, generative music composition, or knot tying, this event celebrates artists abusing algorithms for the aesthetics.
Documental sobre el inicio del netArt.
Founded in 2001 by Toshiyuki Inoko, teamLab is a 400-strong Japanese digital art collective whose members include artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians, architects and designers. Their multi-disciplinary, intensely collaborative practice fuses art, technology and the natural world, resulting in immersive, multi-sensory artworks that thoroughly redefine how we view and interact with art. In this episode, teamLab takes us behind the scenes of two exhibitions, a solo exhibition in London and a three-year project in Singapore that is their largest and most ambitious installation to date.

Algorithmic Music Composition - A long tutorial (or short course) exploring the creation of music using algorithms.
For Casey Reas, software is the most natural medium to work with. He uses code to express his thoughts—starting with a sketch, composing it in code, and witnessing the imagery that it ultimately creates. We visit his studio to see how he uses color to convey emotion and how his programming language Processing is closing the gap between software and object.
