Daniel Brown

Designer and programmer Daniel Brown has made a name for himself as a successful artist, working within the fields of Digital and Interactive Art (also Applied Arts and Design). Brown's technique is combining his previous extensive knowledge of computer programming and user experience design for items such as interactive phones/tablets (i.e. iPads/iPhones) as well as Flash players, Java Scripts etc with traditional design techniques to find a perfect balance and produce the creative work he does.

For well over a decade Daniel has been acclaimed by critics and has often found himself listed in 'Top 10' lists for categories such as internet designers and has had his work exhibited globally in New York, Tokyo and Milan for the British Council's "Great Brits" show.

Researching Brown's work I found his floral pieces particularly interesting as well as his pieces which combined photography of already complex objects (such as fashion photography with dresses made out of 3D triangles of fabric cuts, for example) and then had them manipulated digitally to create an even more extensive effect/illusion.

An example of the manipulation of complex photography, almost making a pattern through digital warping.

Another element I found interesting was how his digital manipulations are not always totally obvious so the audience must "work" to get the full experience of the piece and not just have a quick glance. His work needs to be "studied" rather than just "observed".
