PolyMath
In Tom Ludvigsons PolyMath project, produced with Mike Weston, science and technology encounter cultural art traditions and organic forms of Polynesia and the wider Pacific. Programmed to evoke organic forms and cultural artifacts from the artists’ life in the Pacific, the works are seeded mathematically in lines of computer instructions written as plain text. These coded instructions are processed into sequences of digital images for animated video playback or individual high resolution works realised as fine art prints.
Weston and Ludvigson also collaborate on conceptual art/techno project LeVoleur, and previously on Dr Tutu featuring Tame Iti, Nexus, Alloy.
