New Aesthetic artist James George has been making art out of code for a few years now, and has often employed Microsoft tech in his process. Last year he paired a Kinect with a DSLR to capture people's movements for his piece Depth Editor Debug. He followed that up last winter by using a Kinect-DSLR hybrid to develop the experimental film Clouds. Microsoft must have noticed — George was invited to spend three months as the first-ever artist-in-residence at Microsoft Research's Studio 99, where he's had the company's digital toolkit at his disposal to create new works of art.
