Final Hill Digital Quilt

Hill Digital Quilt collaborative project

I like viewers to have a say in some of my artistic decisions, to be an active part of the creative process.  So a very big "Thank you" to all the participating viewers who chose the winning photos from the dozens of candidates. These winners were transformed into the final panels, then printed, framed and installed in the Quilt Matrix located at the Hill Center on Capitol Hill.

Of course the project took longer to finish than anticipated, but I am very pleased by both the process and the outcome. It was quite interesting to see which images gathered the most votes - not always the ones I would have expected. My favorite transformed panel was always the one I had just finished, so the final few panels are my final favorites.

This project was also a prototype for future collaborative art projects. I've been working with the concept of evolution for many years now, how images can morph into other images, or start whole families with generations and siblings and cousins. In the past I always had to provide the forces that transformed the images, as well as determine which would surrive to the next generation. With the internet, this survival-of-the-fittest decision can be crowd-sourced, providing a more natural force to work with. This project proved the concept to be viable.

So again, many thanks to you all. I have many ideas for future projects, and hope you will participate again.

Hill Rag Mattrix

Of the 21 quilt panels, one broke away a few weeks back, and generated it's own digital quilt, which was an exploration of the distortion tools in the iColorama App.
