Daniel Brown, artist and programmer

Daniel Brown is a designer, programmer and artist whose work I admire for its technical and creative playful exploration. Alongside Nick Knight (photography) and Nick Ryan (audio) they have created an interactive project aimed at exploring the phenomenon of Synaesthesia. The artwork responds to mouse movements, burning out parts of the image as it is scrolled over, with sounds triggered corresponding to the texture of the image.

Raindrop melody maker

Japanese music group ‘Lullotone’ create what they refer to as ‘pyjama pop’. Although they are known for their music, they do not consider this to be their only artistic pursuit. They are people who ‘make stuff’ whether it be music, design, animation or games. To add to this, they also host a weekly childrens television show in Japan where they make things (similar to ‘art attack’). I particularly like their Raindrop Melody Maker for its simplistic and playful interface. Lullotone suggest their (young) audience use the game to create simple songs about raindrops
