I take a lot of photos as I walk in the woods (most days, if I can help it). I love finding compositions of fungi, moss and lichen on rock and bark. So I tried to recreate one such composition for #genuary25

I hardly ever go out these days, but I bought tickets for a show when my favorite comedian was in town. I took a blurry photo from my distant seats in the second balcony, and this thing I created is a rough approximation of the pattern that the theater lighting was making on the floor of the stage. Pretty simple stuff really, but I have good memories associated with this image, and that's enough.
For the #Genuary24 topic of "Impossible objects (undecided geometry)", I just had to add to my #OpticalIllusion collection. I made an interactive version of Reutersvärd's Triangle. It's the original (and my favorite) version of the later discovered and more widely known Penrose Triangle.
I am inordinately proud of the gradient in the middle of the arch/on the middle column: it was quite tricksy. Too bad ImageMagick and InkScape both failed on it. Too bad I can't just post the bloody SVG without conversion nonsense.
Tried to hack the #Processing depth buffer for this #genuary24 Impossible object but the hint(DISABLE_DEPTH_TEST) didn't have the effect I thought it would according to the docs, so instead I stitched two images together #genuary#genuary2024#GenArt#CreativeCoding
January 20: "Use a library that you haven’t used before"
The choice of library was easy. I've been watching as the most excellent @davepagurek (a Waterloo alum) has been developing cool new features for P5.js, so I wanted to try his p5.filterRenderer library (https://github.com/davepagurek/p5.filterRenderer). I always love me some ambient occlusion, so I started playing with the "Contact Shadow" filter. Even better, if you deliberately underpower the filter, you get some nice pencil-like effects, which look good with these abstract stacks of cubes.

I dunno what happened, folks. It all started as a nice little abstract with converging perspective lines and a circle and the next thing you know it is the boardwalk into the Time Tunnel
There sure are a lot of Bauhaus connections in this year's prompts...including "Bauhaus". Reminding me how relevant the events around the closing of the Bauhaus with today's events.
I'm taking inspiration from Kandinsky for this one. And I'm drawing it by hand.
