Art for today—your TV as an ever-changing work of art
Throughout history, art has reflected the enabling technology of the times—be it charcoal on cave walls, oils, brushes and canvas, or cameras, film and darkrooms. ArtStreams™ TV is a dynamic new art form born of today's digital technology. The result is art designed specifically for the HDTV screen, both in size/shape/resolution and its unique ability to morph over time for art experiences that are continually different.
As you’ll see in a moment, there’s an even bigger story behind the art of ArtStreams TV...
Meta-Art—the endless possibilities of generative art
Few artists create works of art that, in turn, create art themselves—sometimes known as generative art works or meta-art. That's just what visionary multimedia artist/producer Jeffrey Burger has done.
Jeffrey was intrigued by the prospect of creating an artistic partner that would continually surprise and inspire him. So he invented the ArtStreams Generator to autonomously create ever-evolving streams of animated digital photomontages. The endlessly morphing multi-layered abstract and surreal art that results is so unique and compelling that ArtStreams TV was born in order to share the experience with the world.
Animated digital photomontage from 15,000+ high-resolution source photos
In order to produce animated digital photomontages that are constantly different, the ArtStreams Generator draws from a library of over 15,000 proprietary high-resolution photos. Most are real-world textures, shapes, colors and patterns shot expressly as source material for our digital photomontage process. Flowers. Rust. Fabric. Classic cars. Peeling paint. Architectural details. In-camera motion-blur light paintings. And that just scratches the surface!
Not by accident, the very nature of these photos lends itself exceptionally well to organic artistic results when combined in endless ways by the ArtStreams Generator. Sometimes the original photographic elements are recognizable in these exotic works of layered art, often times not. See for yourself!
The ArtStreams TV experience
The ever-changing, organic nature of the generative meta-art of ArtStreams TV often has profound, positive effects on viewers. It serves as a sort of animated Technicolor Rorschach test that opens the imagination in an ever-unfolding journey through a world that is simultaneously fantastic and familiar, soothing and rejuvenating. In fact, we're even starting to get corroboration from wellness professionals that ArtStreams TV has therapeutic value.
Don't be surprised if you find yourself drawn inexorably into the mesmerizing spell that makes ArtStreams TV a unique visual experience that is hard to turn away from and compelling to return to regularly.
