Artist Research 2

 Catalog by John Whitney



     John Whitney, Sr. (April 8, 1917 - September 22, 1995) was an American animator, composer and inventor, widely considered to be one of the fathers of computer animation.
    His Catalog project is kindda incredible. He uses dots and lines to connect everything together. He also adds music and motion for those lines and dots. The picture is moving gradually and eventually changing the shape. They tends to create a new image whenver they move. The music is relaxable and enjoyable. And of course, the movement makes art quite different and even more powerful.
    I know that is why he is called the father of computer animation. Nowadays, whenever computers are in resting time, they might be changed the screen to those moving art objects. It is now so popular. And it also distributes some unique beauty for computers.
