Mimetics research

Richard Brown has a BSc in Computers & Cybernetics and an MA in Fine Art and creates interactive artworks using multi-media technology, computer programming, electronics and interfacing.

This website illustrates interactive artworks I have created over the last seven years.

The works represent the results of an enquiry into the nature of mind and consciousness, concerning concepts of space, time and energy.

Exploring Cybernetic Art

Richard is a pioneering artist who crosses the boundaries of science and technology. From the earliest days he was fascinated in artificial intelligence, even though there were only two universities in Britain that taught cybernetics.

At the time, most people thought cybernetics meant he'd be in a lab building Daleks! But Richard's work has shown the potential for technology and the creative economy.

one word movie

One Word Movie is an on-line platform which organizes, based on user-supplied terms, the flood of images on the Internet into an animated film. A word turns into images, images turn into a movie. This project plays with the tension between on-line and cinematic approaches to images. What images are associated with what words? One Word Movie reveals a glimpse into the "collective psychology" of online cultures by showing patterns of word-image associations, as created by millions of people around the world.

dreamlogs

Dreamlogs are an idea association engine. They propose another way to surf on the Internet, by disentangling the discourses that have interlaced over time. Dreamlogs were presented for the first time at the Read_Me 2004 festival, August 2004 in Aarhus, Denmark.
