I’ve made some recordings of live scenes in 360 video format. Put on your VR headsets (or use your mouse to swivel the view! Check them out!  

The Spontaneous Fantasia live video stream can be watched by clicking the below YouTube link. May 29, 9pm: J-Walt and Dean De Benedictis are guests on Alien Air Music presenting some of their music from their ongoing collaboration, while J-Walt performs his virtual worlds live. Join the live event! See the Alien Air Music site for more info […]

Here’s are some animated gifs I made from video and photos I created. Nature is a great inspiration to me, as I think it is to all of us. We enjoy the outdoors in many ways. I enjoy it by appreciating nature’s detail.

This week, I’ve been exploring symmetries and folding. I’ve implemented a technique for folding images back on themselves in an organic way. I was going to create a quick abstract video which uses this technique, but this piece unfolded and evolved instead. I developed the graphics and music over the past few days, going back and forth with […]

I drew these variations one night, looking for a good T-shirt design. I’m calling them “Bubble Trees” for now. What do you think they should be called?

Merry Christmas! Enjoy this series of animated videos my friends and I created and are releasing over 12 days, starting on Christmas Day, 2014. Each video illustrates a verse of the song “The Twelve Days of Christmas”. J-Walt conceived this project on December 18th, and quickly assembled the team which created designs and animations to […]

Another nights exploration produced these images (August 26, 2013). The objects are each members of a class of branching fractals generated from a single stroke of my pen and recursively drawn. The exploration takes place in my real-time system where I draw the initial stroke, tweak the parameters, and take a snapshot of the result.

I call it my “Holiday Tree”, but photographer Mae Koo calls it a “Magic Tree”. When the fairy comes out to harvest the glowing orbs, I’m inclined to agree with Mae — it’s magic! In November 2011, I created this installation by illuminating the ash tree in my front yard with glowing orbs. Each orb […]

My night’s exploration of fractal patterns revealed a similarity between 2D Julia-style fractals and carved lapidary stones. A cut stone reveals a 3D volume in much the same way that a Julia set rendering reveals a 2D slice of a 4D configuration. I created these images on September 2, 2013 with my animation performance system, […]
