About
Tianmin Cen is a new media artist who is interested in creative codings. By using the skill of coding, he is interested in repurposing data, glitch art and data moshing to express his viewpoint about the connection between technology and internet communication in the era of big data. With the exploration of coding during his study in RCA, he found his experimental practice to rep-using image data to generate audio or using the data to modify visuals. With the exploration of methodology, he explores more on the sound design with collaboration project.
Brain Fryer is a digital moving image produced by coding and 3D modelling. It is a project discussing how our minds are overloaded with massive information in the era of big data. Creating this mist blocks us from recognising reality. Getting inspiration from McKenzie Wark's term ‘brain fryer’. Using the pixel data from a film about physical junk mail to ‘fry’ a 3D model of a brain, distortion of visuals and transferring pixel data into frequency for audio. As a metaphor for how our mind and reality being distorted and glitched by floods of information.
