ddump posters

I'm actually impressed by how people can be differently inspired by dumped files.
This is the work from a graphic designer(Emanuele Bonetti) who wanted to try the recycle design process himself.
He used some bad pictures in the creation of some posters, nicely reinventing the aesthetics of the pictures themselves.

Here some of the results from the speedgeeking workshop, during the chmod +x festival in Groeningen! I've just asked some partecipants to use the files from the ddump repository to create something new, in spite of the short amount of time(30 minutes) I had really inspiring results!

Michael Landy : Art Bin 29|1 - 14|3|2010 South London Gallery

Again news from the project which inspire the fisrt approach on my collected files (art is rubbish poster), it seems it's going pretty big! Mr Landy is collecting real art trash in the gallery, raising "issues around disposal, destruction, value and ownership" - sounds intersting to my hypothesis! I'll pay attention to the results.

6 to 7 - Python/ImageMagick gif tiles

Animated gifs using image tiles.

6 to 7 - Python/ImageMagick tiles

Again playing with the idea of tearing apart images and try to have something new out of them, I created some tiles compositions from dumped images. I'm actually impressed by the fact that the final result is totally depending on the chance of finding the right image to fit the process. The end visual result has clearly came out from different sources, characteristic that in my opinion in enriching the traditional design process and its output.

6 to 7 - Python/ImageMagick tiles

Experimenting with Python and ImageMagick, lookin for a script to create regular patterns. Work in progress.

6 to 7 - LaTex/Python maps

From today Lafkon workshop I had an image randomly cut into pieces, trough python, and pasted into a LaTex grid. The aim is again to try to mess up the coordinates of all these maps I keep on finding in the dump.
