piu piu | 2011 | Jen-Kuang Chang

piu piu, a series of cutesy generative graphics, was a quick and delightful study of randomness.  The concept was propagated from a technically horrendous practice-sketch made with a somewhat out-of-control intuos4 pen tablet.  The process of translating visual cues into the generative code was zesty, a bit like Philip Glass's Metamorphosis cocktailed with few drops of Haydn Symphony No. 94 "Surprise".

Symmetry VII

Symmetry VII | 2009 | Jen-Kuang Chang In a day bagged with bad weather, appalling conversations with myself, and a rotten soul, I habitually enslaved myself with a panorama view of peculiarly depressing memories.  Sacrosanct aroma of organic coffee was tainted and sumptuous texture of dark chocolate fouled, making me feel like an archangel of no tomorrow.  In a day like this, it felt like a therapeutic measure to get...
