𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘍𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘐𝘴 𝘔𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭 is a series of paintings created with a robotic pen plotter. The robot follows instructions produced by a generative algorithm that creates a unique output each time it runs.
My works are serial in nature. They are the physical manifestations of the generative programs I create. There is a unique partnership, a transference of powers, when bits of information become paint on paper.
Taking these shapes from concept to code took me far longer then it probably should have. One of those sketches that take a lot of thought and effort to try and look effortless.
I've shared the code examples and documentation from the Workshop "Body as Interface" made at Processing Community Day @pcdporto 2024. Using #p5js+#ml5 to interact with body, face, and hands.
Been sick in bed for the last couple days. Between sniffles and sleeping I started code-doodling. This started as an attempt at splattered paint, but gradually found form. I guess I'm ready for spring already.
The #WCCChallenge this week was "space-filling algorithms", and the group had a ton of really good contributions.
I chose to create a diffusion limited aggregation system. It was something that I explored in my early code art days over 20 years ago, so it felt good to be able to whip up something much better in a fraction of the time. There are several variations, and it's fun to watch it slowly build up.
I made a fork of the DLA sketch to use motion that is more similar to that of my original design. The particles still have a slight bias to move in the direction opposite of the start side, but otherwise they can move in any direction and drift more. It leads to more sparse and wavy formations like in the POV-Ray set. The images show examples with the different particle lengths. I think I like the red/blue color combo a bit better. https://openprocessing.org/sketch/2177509
