The exhibition will present three projects from George Legrady’s recent body of work:
Algorithmic Visualizations 2002-present
Animation Projection and Digital prints, 32 x 42″ each
“Algorithmic Visualizations” consists of images created directly from
mathematical equations that have their origins in image processing
algorithms.
Making Visible the Invisible 2005
A 2 screen display of a commission for the Rem Koolhaas designed
Seattle Public Library, featuring visualizations that are based on
statistical analyses of the circulation of non-fiction books catalogued
according to the Dewey decimal system going in and out of the library’s
collection.
Kinetic Flow 2006
Vermont/Santa Monica Station, Los Angeles MetroRail
Preview of a visualization for a leaning 18′ x 24′ concrete wall above
a staircase and escalator unit at the entrance of the station. The
design concept for the image has been to engage the kinetic experience
of the downward movement on both escalator and staircase, one smooth,
the other sequential. The algorithmically generated abstract visual
rendition uses statistical data sampled from LA metro traffic
circulation to seed the image generating equation.
