Review of Glorious Ninth
Interview with Marius Watz.
www.furtherfield.org
Artists - Glorious Ninth
Review Title - love_potion and Invisibility_Phial
Reviewer - Marc Garrett
When I first began writing this review I thought that I'd just be
writing a couple of quick paragraphs in response to Glorious Ninth's
latest artwork Invisibility_Phial. However this work has not only
uncovered for me aspects of the nature of their artistic collaboration,
but also how bringing everyday life into art adds essential value to art
and culture. Through their recent work, Glorious Ninth (Kate Southworth
& Patrick Simons) have created an intriguing interface introducing a
more personal and emotional context. Their own lives become part of the
works, that serve to introduce us to their world via their intuitive,
creative practice.

A FORM OF TECHNOLOGICAL MIMESIS
Interview with Marius Watz by Franz Thalmair
Marius Watz, an artist concerned with generative systems for creating
visual form, still, animated, or realtime, argues in the following
interview: "One of the privileges of Generative Art is that the author
can easily be surprised by her own creation." Watz discovered the
computer at age eleven and immediately found his direction in life. At
age 20 he defected from Computer Science studies to do graphics for
raves, using his programming to create organic shapes in 2D and 3D. In
2005 Watz started Generator.x, a platform for Generative Art and Design
which so far has resulted in a conference, a blog, a travelling
exhibition and concert tour. Watz currently lives in Oslo and New York.
His tools of choice are Java, Processing, VVVV and Flash. He continues
to edit the Generator.x blog and prepare future Generator.x events, as
well as teaching workshops in Computational Design and Generative Art.
