Reading 45-71

This week's reading covered more application of digital art, one of these came from Dieter Huber who uses digital art to create artificial plants and animals using the technology as a medium to show these creations that he designed. Most of Huber's work deals with the topic of biotechnology and engineering, showing the viewer a concept image of a plant that could be possible created by the use of biotechnology. These pictures tend to be very abstract but at the same time seem very life like. Another use was the line drawing done by Jochem Henedricks these drawing seemed very useless at the beginning kinda confusing the audience but when you understand that the lines are the way the eye reads a paper or book and the movement involved, it becomes very interesting. I found the piece by Huber to be one of my favorites as it covers the idea of using technology to explain the powers of technology in that he made the concepts of these life forms in order to show that technology could the same.
