In 1986, John Whitney joined with Jerry Reed to develop a program combining computer graphics and music composing. From 1986-1992, the Whitney-Reed RDTD (Radius-Differential Theta Differential) composing program was refined. The product of this work was the invention of a music/graphic instrument that produces a direct matching of "tonal action with graphic action." Whitney said, "I believe that visual design belongs with musical design."

Scott Blake

Scott Blake was born in Tampa, Florida in the autumn of 1976 Blake created a series of artworks that involved reworkings of barcodes to create artwork. Barcode art was something that quickly became an internet thread. It was largely unknown exactly where this fad had originated from. he used barcodes as a tool and image, such as his portraits which were made entirely from bar codes. Blake had started this project around the time of the Y2K bug craze and the turn of the millennium.

Bruce Nauman

In 1993, Nauman received the Wolf Prize in Arts an Israeli award for his distinguished work as a sculptor and his extraordinary contribution to twentieth-century art.
Much of his work is characterized by an interest in language, often manifesting itself in a playful, mischievous manner.

Joan Jonas

She began her career in New York City as a sculptor. Jonas' projects and experiments provided the foundation on which much video performance art would be based.  Jonas’ works were first performed in the 1960s and '70s for some of the most influential artists of her generation, including Richard Serra,Robert Smithson, Dan Graham and Laurie Anderson. Jonas filmed performers stiffly passing through the field of view against a wind that lent the choreography a psychological mystique.

John Whitney

John Whitney

John Whitney, Sr. died September 22, 1995 in Los Angeles, California, ending a remarkable career that linked music to experimental film and later to computer imaging. John Hales Whitney was born April 8, 1917 in Pasadena, California; he attended Pomona College, Claremont University before spending a year in Paris from 1937 to 1938. While in Paris, he studied Schoenberg's Twelve Tone techniques with Rene Liebowitz and worked on the animation of abstract designs.



In 1986, John Whitney joined with Jerry Reed to develop a program combining computer graphics and music composing. From 1986-1992, the Whitney-Reed RDTD (Radius-Differential Theta Differential) composing program was refined. The product of this work was the invention of a music/graphic instrument that produces a direct matching of "tonal action with graphic action." Whitney said, "I believe that visual design belongs with musical design."

He stated that with the development of computer technology, computers can now create and store images and music in infinite combinations and sequences to experience Complementarity and bring about a richer communication. Whitney believed that strong emotion flows from the combination of Music and Visual elements. "I've struggled to define my vision. The union of color and tone is a very special gift of computer technologies." He said that he would look to future artists to develop the communication further. His paper, discussing a major new audio-visual art medium, was published in the Computer Music Journal, Vol. 18/3, Fall, 1994.By the 1970s, Whitney had abandoned his analogue computer in favour of faster, digital processes.

The pinnacle of his digital films is his 1975 work Arabesque, characterized by  blooming colour-forms. His work during the 1980s and 1990s, benefited from faster computers and his invention of an audio-visual composition program called the Whitney-Reed RDTD (Radius-Differential Theta Differential). Works from this period such as Moondrum (1989 - 1995) used self-composed music and often explored mystical or Native-Americans themes.

Kat Von D

Born on March 8th, 1982 in  Leon New Mexico, California at the age of four. Growing up, she was very close to her grandmother who greatly influenced her love for art. Her grandmother introduced her to playing the piano and listening to great composers such as Beethoven, Kat Von D's favorite. She grew up close to her parents and siblings in Inland Empire, where she was exposed to various cultures and influences. At the age of 14, she got her first tattoo, an English J on her ankle, a tribute to a previous love affair. It was then when she discovered her talent for art and in 1996, she picked up the machine and started honing her craft. Two years later, Kat Von D started working in a professional shop, Sin City Tattoo, and moved on to Blue Bird Tattoo in Pasadena a year later. Other shops she has worked in include Inflictions and True Tattoo, where she worked with Clay Decker, Chris Garver and Tim Hendricks. It was then when she moved to Los Angeles, where she met her husband to be, a talented artist named Oliver Peck. In 2008, Von D created and launched a make-up line for Sephora.^[1] She has released new collections every year and has expanded her line to include fragrances. She is the creator of the MusInk Tattoo Convention and Music Festival
Von D was asked to work at Miami Ink  She appeared in the first three seasons of the same-name reality tv  show taped there. She had a falling out  which led to her being asked to leave the shop. Kat has said she has not spoken with members of Miami Ink since her departure.
She later acquired her own series, LA INK, following her work at her tattoo shop, High Voltage Tattoo, in Hollywood , California. On the show, she gained the world record  of most tattoos given by a single person in 24 hours, with a total of 400.This was broken shortly after by her ex-husband Oliver Peck with 415, then Robbie "Coon" Koch with 577, then Derek Kastning with 726, and after that by Hollis Cantrell with 801
