She was smart enough- and interested enough- in the sciences to graduate from the University of Wisconsin with a BA in biology and Masters in zoology. “In all these courses I drew like crazy without letting too many people see these drawings,” she recalls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But art drew her back and after her advanced degree Elliot returned to school, this time in a technical college program in commercial art. Shortly after that, the perfect opportunity came knocking. “I was out about a month when four people, four or five people called me up the same day and said, ‘The botany artist is leaving, go apply for a position,’\" Elliot says. The position was as staff artist for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.botany.wisc.edu/\">University of Wisconsin’s Botany department\u003c/a>, one of the best in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elliot was strong on science and gifted in art, but she also had another card up her sleeve, “I knew back in 1988 there was this new thing called Apple Computer where you could draw a perfect square. You didn't need a right angle. You could draw a perfect circle, you didn't need a compass. And I said, ‘Surely you want to do this kind of work on a computer.’ And they said, ‘Alright, let's try it.’\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_27621\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 238px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2011/11/Elliot_fungi_poster101.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-27621\" title=\"Elliot_fungi_poster10\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2011/11/Elliot_fungi_poster101-238x360.jpg\" alt=\"fungi poster\" width=\"238\" height=\"360\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kandis Elliot's poster \"Introduction to Fungi\".

So she went to the campus computer center, held up a hundred dollar bill, offering it to anyone who could teach her how to use an Apple. That investment paid off in a position she held for over two decades. As the botany artist, she created charts and graphs for countless scientific publications and perfected the art of digital painting. Starting with less-than-perfect images taken by scientists in the field, or dried, pressed plant samples, Elliot’s job was to transform them into striking, painterly objects that could hold a student’s attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It makes your eye dwell on the picture a little bit longer,” says Elliot, “I guess the only way I can describe it is that the paintings say, ‘Look at me.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After years spent shining the spotlight on nature’s botanical beauty, Kandis Elliot retired from the University of Wisconsin in 2011. But not before receiving one of the highest honors in her profession. A poster titled \u003ca href=\"http://www.news.wisc.edu/news/images/Elliot_fungi_poster10.jpg\">“Introduction to Fungi”\u003c/a> won the 2010 prize for information graphics in the National Science Foundation’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/scivis/winners_2010.jsp\">International Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge\u003c/a>.

So she went to the campus computer center, held up a hundred dollar bill, offering it to anyone who could teach her how to use an Apple. That investment paid off in a position she held for over two decades. As the botany artist, she created charts and graphs for countless scientific publications and perfected the art of digital painting. Starting with less-than-perfect images taken by scientists in the field, or dried, pressed plant samples, Elliot’s job was to transform them into striking, painterly objects that could hold a student’s attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It makes your eye dwell on the picture a little bit longer,” says Elliot, “I guess the only way I can describe it is that the paintings say, ‘Look at me.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The theoreticians won a Nobel Prize in 1957.

Each mesmerizing frame was hand-drawn--and not by Koblin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Koblin wrote a sophisticated computer program that would encourage anyone, anywhere, to draw and submit a frame for the video. Contributors are given a black-and-white photographic template and a custom drawing tool to create their own interpretation. The tool records each drawing session, so you can select any frame and re-live the artist's process of creation. Drawings are also categorized by style and number of brush strokes and rated by the community, and, like a true engineer, Koblin has made all this information user-accessible. You can watch different version of the video: \"highest rated frames,\" \"most brushstrokes per frame,\" \"pointilism frames,\" etc. (The project could use more pointilism frames, if you're looking for a niche to fill.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_42878\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/2012/08/21/collaborative-creativity-in-the-digital-world/cash/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-42878\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-42878\" title=\"Cash\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2012/08/Cash-640x171.png\" alt=\"The Johnny Cash Project - Aaron Koblin\" width=\"640\" height=\"171\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Johnny Cash Project - Aaron Koblin\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Koblin is fascinated by this kind of collaborative creativity, made possible by today's interconnected world. If you're wondering what kind of artist makes a video out of other people's art, rest assured, it's far from a parasitic endeavor.

And yes, drawing on a screen instead of a pad of paper is certainly one kind of digital art. But digital art can also happen on an entirely different level: art can be made with lines of code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take \u003ca title=\"The Johnny Cash Project\" href=\"http://www.thejohnnycashproject.com/#\">The Johnny Cash Project\u003c/a>. This music video for Cash' recording of the song \"Ain't No Grave (Gonna Hold This Body Down)\" was created by artist \u003ca title=\"Aaron Koblin\" href=\"http://www.aaronkoblin.com/\">Aaron Koblin\u003c/a> in collaboration with director \u003ca title=\"Chris Milk\" href=\"http://portfolio.chrismilk.com/\">Chris Milk\u003c/a>. Each mesmerizing frame was hand-drawn--and not by Koblin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Koblin wrote a sophisticated computer program that would encourage anyone, anywhere, to draw and submit a frame for the video. Contributors are given a black-and-white photographic template and a custom drawing tool to create their own interpretation. The tool records each drawing session, so you can select any frame and re-live the artist's process of creation. Drawings are also categorized by style and number of brush strokes and rated by the community, and, like a true engineer, Koblin has made all this information user-accessible. You can watch different version of the video: \"highest rated frames,\" \"most brushstrokes per frame,\" \"pointilism frames,\" etc. (The project could use more pointilism frames, if you're looking for a niche to fill.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_42878\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/2012/08/21/collaborative-creativity-in-the-digital-world/cash/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-42878\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-42878\" title=\"Cash\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2012/08/Cash-640x171.png\" alt=\"The Johnny Cash Project - Aaron Koblin\" width=\"640\" height=\"171\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Johnny Cash Project - Aaron Koblin\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Koblin is fascinated by this kind of collaborative creativity, made possible by today's interconnected world. If you're wondering what kind of artist makes a video out of other people's art, rest assured, it's far from a parasitic endeavor. Each frame is thoroughly credited to its artist, and the raw engineering skill and design vision behind The Johnny Cash Project are truly impressive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Koblin currently leads the Data Arts Team in Google's Creative Lab in San Francisco. (Did you know they had a creative lab? I didn't!) His other projects include such whimsical endeavors as \u003ca title=\"Bicycle Built for Two Thousand\" href=\"http://www.bicyclebuiltfortwothousand.com/\">Bicycle Built for Two Thousand\u003c/a>, which collected over 2000 brief voice recordings into a version of the song \u003ca title=\"Daisy Bell - Wikipedia\" href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisy_Bell\">Daisy Bell\u003c/a>, and \u003ca title=\"The Sheep Market\" href=\"http://www.aaronkoblin.com/work/thesheepmarket/index.html\">The Sheep Market\u003c/a>, an array of 10,000 hand-drawn sheep facing to the left.

The centerpiece artwork in the newly renovated San Jose airport, \u003ca title=\"eCLOUD\" href=\"http://www.ecloudproject.com/index.html\">eCLOUD\u003c/a>, was created by Koblin along with \u003ca title=\"Nik Hafermaas\" href=\"http://uebersee.us/\">Nik Hafermaas\u003c/a> and \u003ca title=\"Dan Goods\" href=\"http://directedplay.com/\">Dan Goods\u003c/a>. Constructed of hanging panels that can be electrically switched between transparent and opaque, eCLOUD is designed to mimic the behavior of a real cloud under any weather conditions. Custom software constantly downloads data about current international weather conditions and applies these to the eCLOUD, causing the collection of panels to resemble a cloud in, say, Buenos Aires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
