WAVE is an experimental video generated with custom fluid dynamic simulation software and methods. It is composed of three segments (blue, green, red), each with three phases (generation, freedom, enclosure). The rigid boundaries imposed by the frame and the rectangles contrast with the formless behavior of the flow itself. The colors evoke imagery of the ocean, earth, and fire, but the motion will be general, and represent neither.

 

 

Mark J. Stock is an artist, scientist, and programmer who creates still and moving images combining elements of nature, physics, chaos, computation, and algorithm. His works explore the tension between the natural world and its simulated counterpart, and are generated with his own custom scientifically-accurate research software. He has been showing work since 2000 and has been in over 80 curated and juried exhibitions since 2001, including Ars Electronica, ASPECT Magazine, and seven SIGGRAPH Art Galleries. He has spoken at numerous scientific, graphics, and art conferences and workshops, and has published papers in a variety of fields. Mark completed his PhD in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan in 2006 and works out of his studio in Somerville, Massachusetts. He is represented in California by SENSE Fine Art.
