Description
"Axis" (2002) by Golan Levin, a whimsical interactive data visualization commissioned by the Whitney Museum of American Art for its Artport website. A dozen artists were invited by curator Christiane Paul to respond to a specific assignment in a programming language of their choice. Levin, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University known for computational art and creative coding, created an unconventional visualization that rethinks the familiar Cartesian coordinate system. Levin's broader practice spans audiovisual performance software, computer vision art, and interactive installations, and he is a central figure in the new media art and creative coding communities.
