They showed me the cover artwork and at the time, I was looking some pictures of solar wind and the Earth’s magnetosphere (good images at the wikipedia pages for solar wind and magnetosphere) and it kind of clicked for me that the magnetic field line stuff I’d be playing with before related to the cover artwork in what I thought was a really intuitive way. So a little earlier this year, I was talking to the Warp guys about some of the stuff they wanted to do for the Cosmogramma release.

So anyway, I was playing around with that stuff and making stuff like this: The magnetic force algorithm was actually based on some code I discovered in Toxi’s onedotzero identity project.
COSMOGRAMMA FIELDLINES SOFTWARE
Late last year, I was writing a piece of software with Processing that I was using to make images and animation using simulated magnetic forces.
I asked Aaron about how he put the work together. The work combines imagined magnetic fields with free code framework OpenFrameworks. Interactive artist Aaron Meyers did the programming. (Harpist Rebekah Raff’s delicate textures dance through the air as it moves.) McCloskey for Flying Lotus’ upcoming album “Cosmogramma”, the organic visual pattern animates to movement tracked from your computer webcam, accompanied by the sounds of the record. Based on the exquisite cover art by Leigh J. Just ask Flying Lotus.įieldlines is a free Mac and Windows application that creates an “augmented reality” experience for your computer. Well, eat your heart out, LPs: album art is back, it’s interactive, and it’s trippier than ever.
You’ve heard the lamentations before: album art died with the move from the large canvas of the LP vinyl record to the CD.
