too perfect

The every day world around us seems to have become flawless and all too keen to stop any pixel, beat, letter, or increment of measure from being off by even a fraction. (ok this is mainly a comment on media. obviously one can just look at the 405 to know that the world is not flawless)

Whether this is a great direction for humanity to be going is debatable on many levels. However, the challenge for the creative community is to not just 'add back humanity' or making something a bit flawed but to start asking questions about the tools we are using. Do you really need quantization all the time? Do the grid marker and rulers absolutely need to be on? Do you need to be sub frame accurate?

Perhaps just do something without any 'corrective' measures and experience the freedom and perhaps the freefall...

oscillations


I've been thinking a bit about the creative use of oscillators.

For sound, obviously one can use things like an LFO to change, control
or modify. Yet, what about using these oscillations for visuals applied
to key frames or to gradient patterns.

today's creative challenge: make something unexpected with of 3 types of oscillators.
