About The Artwork
High on the list of historic television broadcasts are the missions of Project Mercury, Gemini and Apollo. Think of it: the first step on the moon was televised live around the globe to hundreds of millions of viewers! As fate would have it, a better made- for- HDTV moment could not have been fabricated, even by legions of network “suits” armed with hundreds of pages of focus group reports, for the first national HDTV broadcast: the return to space of national hero Senator John Glenn, the first American in orbit onboard Friendship 7 in 1963. (pg 203) At Philips Labs, Doug Molloy, in- house HD studio manager, through skill and determination, kludged a “receiver” together from pre- production first- generation HDTVs, strewn about the second-floor New Product Development Lab. The 8-VSB HDTV signal emanating from CBS’s antenna on the Empire State Building was received, decoded and projected onto a 16' ¥ 9' screen in the King Lecture Hall. At the instant STS-95 broke physical contact with the Earth, and launch control proclaimed “Let the wings of Discovery lift us on to the future,” a standing- room- only audience of lab employees sounded a loud cheer in unison. Broadcasting on planet Earth had taken one giant leap towards a high definition communications future. (pg 208) Source: Cianci, Philip J. (2014).

Living a dual existence in the parallel universes of creativity and technology, splitting my time between New York City and my Frog Hill Creative Sanctuary, in Lake Peekskill, NY, I am forging a body of work exemplifying the intelligent fusion of technology and art, subscribing to the creative premise: Why do it if it has been done before? My creative R&D is a lifelong pursuit of uniquely innovative creative expression. I am developing generative synesthetic audio visual art. Color selection is directly derived from the harmonic relationships between musical note-class and its extension to a color wheel. (https://www.iopheriancreations.com/art) The music is composed of computer assisted algorithmically generated sequences of notes and timing relationships tempered by human aesthetic considerations. (https://www.iopheriancreations.com/music) Audio is interpreted by computer code that is a customized implementation of Processing.js and produces the algorithmically generated video. My professional career in television media systems technology has permitted me to develop my artistic “vision” free from the restrictions of the contemporary art and commercial music worlds. (https://www.philipcianci.com/bio) Stylistically, I am experimenting with multiple mediums on sundry surfaces augmented by the use of electronic components, glitter, glass stains, and other materials and pigments applied to printed circuit boards, Plexiglas, wood and canvas.
