Augury by LoVid

“The artist duo LoVid has been exploring digital art movements since the 1990s and this project is a colorful remix of glitch art and P&D (pattern & decoration) concepts. In a time when most generative projects are ver literal, this series brings awareness to complex systems and environmental signals. I am encouraging everybody to read more about the layers that compose this work.”

Description:  Augury is a festive collection ranging from vast sorbet-colored landscapes to dense pattern iterations. Augury remixes frames from LoVid’s red, green, and blue (RGB) luminous moving image work. With Augury, LoVid continues exploring on-chain processes that are inspired by the mechanism and aesthetic of analog synthesis.This collection builds upon LoVid’s first analog video synthesizer-inspired collection: Tide Predictor. Each output in Augury grabs frames from the Tide Predictor algorithm (using a unique new hash) and arranges them on the screen based on a set of instructions, possibilities, and limitations. The generative compositions in Augury are therefore both procedurally related to and visually reminiscent of quilting, tapestry pattern designs, and tactile weaving. They use visual elements that LoVid often employs in static works: mirroring and repetitive looping, abrupt changes in intensity and detail, overlapping recycled patterns, and a colliding playful mix of lines and signals buzzing in different directions.
