Ghosts – Eric Natzke

The recently added Flickr video capability is throwing up many excellent examples of digital motion graphics, generative artworks and documentation of real-time performances.

Responding to a call for videos for a NIN competition, Eric Natzke has recently uploaded his own contributions, Ghosts II & III. The videos, like much of his recent work, appear as abstract paintings building up over time, where natural colours seem to bleed and blend into one another like real paint. The ribbon-like lines look like they have been derived from human-gestures resulting in quasi-computational brushstrokes. Segments of combinations occasionally slide in the XY plane simulating a 3 dimensional space and temporal building of abstract expressionist colour space.

Eric is, of course, a god in the world of Flash having made a name for himself many years ago with his online sketchbook of Actionscripted artworks and typographical experiments. His online presence has since metamorphosized into a work blog.
