This digital art installation grew out of a collaboration by Stephen Cronin, Director of Artists For Humanity’s Creative Technology Studio, and Kitauna Parker, AFH Alumna Artist in Residence. In the installation, Cronin reimagines Parker’s poetry and paintings to generate a new, responsive art piece harnessing live weather data and the power of creative coding—reflecting the impermanence of our days. “This work is a generative art piece made in TouchDesigner,” says Cronin. “The piece uses live weather data to control certain parameters. It adapts to the temperature, wind, and time of day to generate new variations throughout the month. “Ephemeral Days is The Sidewalk’s first exhibition of generative art, which involves the use of an autonomous system.

“Fear Not” by Kitauna Parker, is the source painting for “Ephemeral Days” generative video project by Stephen Cronin.
