Algorithms of Darkness: Denial of service “Onryo”

The latest work from enigmatic musician and visual artist denial of service, slides deeper into his signature brand of tech-noir chaos combining reaction-diffusion algorithms and “excruciating rotoscoping.”

“Most of the reaction-diffusion sequences were created in Max/Jitter courtesy of Paul Fennell’s generosity and ultra-efficient & mathematically/chemically correct open-source code which I modified to suit. Some were concocted on Ready.

“Most overlays were the result of copious P3.x multiscale Turing noise patterns experimentation, as well as, sonifications courtesy of Tomasz Sulej.”

Certain parts of this piece make use of motion reference (extracted vectors /OpticalFlow), as well as, processed sequences from Susi Sie’s seminal and highly inspirational motion work “Soundscapes.” Deepest gratitude for the kind permission.
