Impressions of Robert Seidel

His work was hypnotizing. The first film he played for us did not make sense to me. I could not understand neither his intentions nor his art. However, his last demonstration: Hysteresis was mesmerizing. I could make out shapes in his art and it was breathtaking to watch. When he said “there is so much more than what others see”, I recalled to how the book Art & Fear talks about the efforts to success being invisible and only the results mattering. His presentations today directly relates to this. He also talked about the process of development which I found very useful since I was introduced to a new term Optical Flow algorithm, and he also mentioned several 3D rendering tools: Blender, Touch Design, and VQFan which I will be experimenting with in the near future.
