Noctilucas Yayoi

Brief description. Noctilucas is a work inspired by multiplicity and the work of pioneering artists in digital art, such as Herbert W. Franke, Grace Hertlein, Vera Molnár. Made through p5js, in the javascript language, it is important to highlight that this language is open source, free and free.

Technical, aesthetic and conceptual development

“In a time very different from ours, and by men whose power of action over things was insignificant compared to that which we possess, Our Fine Arts were instituted and their types and uses were established.”(Valery, Paul, 1928, p 131). Change represents continuity, to remain we develop new sensibilities, new concepts, both of aesthetic creation, as well as of art objects.

The very idea of art as we knew it no longer exists, we open the way to new pradigmas where through search and digital media new languages appear that none of those founding men of the “industry of beauty” I would have imagined.

Noctilucas, is a work made digitally, inspired by multiplicity. Artistic productions have always been able to be imitated, but it is in our paradigm, when they have a new quality that is their own and inherent, ubiquity, that virtue of being present everywhere at the same time.

This ubiquity is willing to destroy everything to build it again and again, to teach us that we no longer need museums where productions are stripped of their reason for being as such to become a bourgeois product.

Perhaps this new paradigm is too magical, and as Valery (1928) feared, “it is now impossible to eat or drink in a cafe without being disturbed” (p.133) by, in our case, a digital image from any device.

But this is not something negative, on the contrary it is an impulse to constantly search for new expressions, as well as sensations.

“There are bad days; there are very lonely people, and there is no shortage of those whom age or helplessness locks up within themselves, who already know themselves very well. Lo and behold, those empty and sad moments and those beings destined for yawning and taciturn thoughts are now masters of adorning their leisure” (Valery, Paul, 1928, p.133), with our digital art.
