A few years ago I used to write a lot about digital art. I still like to keep tabs on computer-based arts, so I was excited when I saw Leo Villareal on Cool Hunting: Leo Villareal podcast.
He began by working with sequenced strobe lights, then moved to other forms including LEDs. The video shows software he’s using to infuse physics and simulation into his works. Nothing conveys why I enjoy Leo’s work more succinctly than comment at the end of the podcast: “it’s a deep thing [..] like looking into a fire, it’s kind of primal.”
