Hyperstills Ambient | Visual Overtones for the Web genre: algorithmic art, Flash art, net art media: Flash ActionScript released: 2004 original music: Jimmy McDonnell flash art : John Vega Hyperstills Ambient is a series of animations that leads the viewer on a mesmerizing, meditative journey through the portals of conscious existence into an abstract world. Exotic forms stretch across the matrix of time and space, leading us to the subtle tissues and textural essences of our cosmic constitution (the embodiment of spirit in matter). Light intersects the void. Fire morphs into wind, into turbulent smoke-infused water, and hints at the secret source of all Elements. Crepuscular strands of essential form, flash-frozen hair and vein-work, limbs and ducts pulsing, awakening to form nebulae intertwined—all unfold in Vega’s indelible algorithmic work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exhibitions/Installations/Performances/Awards: 2004 Cybersonica (as part of soundtoys) | The Science Museum’s Dana Centre | London 2004 Soundtoys 2004 | Online Exhibition Series 2004 International Festival of Electronic Art 404 |Castagnino Museum | Rosario 2004 Artomatic | Digital Arts Exhibit | Washington, DC 2004 Art Futura | Net Art Selection 2004 MOCA: The Museum of Computer Art | online 2004 Rhizome ArtBase | online 2004 Transition Media Gallery | online
