San Base Studio, Toronto, Canada


The Dynamic Paintings can be considered a generative art - an art that has been generated algorithmically by a computer system. However, they are more than that. First of all, they are exceptional art design concepts brought to life using the latest in computer technology. Unlike all other generative art examples that account for just a few basic artistic principles and require very little artist input, the Dynamic Paintings by San Base are truly creations of an artist. This is what sets it far apart from any other works in this area. One can think of Dynamic Painting technology as a new medium - a new form of canvas and paint.

San Base is a Canadian artist, born in Russia. Since early childhood, he showed an aptitude toward arts, and at the age of 12 he was accepted into a Fine Arts school. Soon after, he discovered another passion - the mathematics. As an admirer of both art and science, he faced a tough decision as an adolescent - to accept an offer to Surikov Academy of Fine Arts (one of the most prominent art schools in Russia) or to go to a technical university.

A Dynamic Painting, capable of displaying a magnificent never-ending show, is truly the way this technology is intended to be seen. The slowly transforming elements of the painting will mesmerize the viewer and will create a calm, soothing atmosphere. A typical Dynamic Painting installation includes a special high-end computer system connected to a large high definition monitor or TV. The system and display can be tailored to a particular specification, to fit any environment.
