![]() ![]() Controllable Web cameras have broadened my expression. Though SIC is a key technology of Webcam Art, I can’t make this type of art without the Internet and Web cameras. Most of these characteristics derive from SIC’s vector data-handling. It creates artwork with a history of its rendering process.It can resist your own rendering expressions.It can select and/or create color maps from excellent paintings.It can control color and texture separately.Creating a large rendering image from a small Web-camera image is one of the characteristics of this software. The original functions of GIMP were only used to adjust color balance, so all creative tasks were processed algorithmically by SIC. GIMP is an open-source photo retouch software working on Linux and Windows. SIC is constituted of several GIMP plug-in modules, and it provides a wide variety of expressions. However, it is a good idea to make a CG from a Web camera, because the scenery created by CG conveys a different feeling and atmosphere and makes appreciators have a desire to know real scenery.” (Dosanko site Web-camera administrator.) One comment was: “A live camera sends just photographic pictures, so I think we never stop the time in a Web camera. Sapporo was created from a Web camera on a northern Japanese island. I used original rendering software, SIC (Synergistic Image Creator), to create Webcam Art. If a Web-cam owner wants a copy of the work, a poster-sized copy is sent. To know how the Web-cam owners feel about my work, I showed them my pieces and asked them to send back some comments. If I were a “real” travel painter, people around me would stop to look at my paintings and talk about them. This imagination motivated me to create pieces from Web cameras, which is why I might be called a net-travel painter. Most of the cameras transmit small, poor-quality images, but with a stretch of the imagination, we can perceive beauty in them. A lot of scenery and people are viewable via Web cameras. Many interesting Web cameras are set up around the world, and some of them have controllers that allow viewers to pan and zoom from their browsers. Webcam Art was created to visualize the result of my experience and communication through the Internet.
