A bit behind on .. animated 100x100 grid with point shapes generated by bitwise operators. R code:

library(ggplot2)
library(gganimate)
anim <- ggplot(expand.grid(x=1:100,y=1:100,t=1:20))+
aes(x,y)+
geom_point(aes(pch=factor(
bitwXor(x-y-50,y+x-50-t)%%((t%%7)+10)
))) +
theme_void()+
theme(legend.position = "none")+
coord_fixed() +
transition_states(t)
animate(anim,width=700,height=700,nframes = 300)

Ignored the prompt today and did some work on the flow fields I made for the Vera Molnar prompt instead.

@Holberg theres the plot (and possibly the title) for a crime thriller

Screensaver! Animated flow field made into a perfect loop.

An improvement on , in the style of Vera Molnar. Here the background is darker, the image isn't clipped and the underlying function is more complex.

, In the style of Vera Molnar.

Discretised the flow field to make straight lines, and plotted some bold lines. Feel kind of bad doing something so rough in homage to one of the original greats of the field, maybe I'll come back to this..

Pixels!

Animated versions of the last posts, dropping pixels into the flows to see where they go.

Wasn't planning to this year, but I've seen so many cool posts.. this system generates lots of particles, certainly no palettes and starting to think about Droste effect. Will probably keep refining this over the month.

Ah fuck it. Another blog post in which the author intended to fuck a spider, accidentally shaved a yak, and wrote far too much about random number generation in R

@djnavarro a good reminder to write more but less perfect blogs.

What have you all done with your CDs and DVDs?

I'm trying to declutter my house over the break and I can't even play them any more but binning 20 years of music and film collection is going to be difficult.

@davidcarew Yes I don't like the idea of giving up ownership of physical copies. 'Big box in the attic' is winning so far for me I think.

Trying something different—ports of the United Kingdom and Ireland. Could have done illuminated globes but am getting a tad tired of dark visualisations so I thought I'd try glass globes and labels this time.

Thoughts, suggestions welcome!

@terence It looks like the sea has already started to reclaim Cambridgeshire!

@terence Which is below sea level but is not underwater.

@terence Also the locations seem off, are the globes elevated above the ground (so it looks like they are too far north?)

Weird flow field! The code to make this is even more of a shambles than the output.

Kind of makes me want to invest in a plotter though :-)

georgemsavva,
@georgemsavva@genart.social avatar

@houseofleft yeah that's the sweet spot

georgemsavva,
@georgemsavva@genart.social avatar

@houseofleft if you want a couple of clues though..the red and black flows are always perpendicular (the flow affecting the red points is rotated 90degrees) and the equation for the flow field is bounded meaning that in places it's a constant leading to the linear areas.

@bit101 I don't know much of her stuff - my college friends were really into her back in the 90s and I'm rediscovering it now. Will check out Unrepentant Geraldines.

Here's another output from the summer's abandoned project. I didn't have any real direction with these except I wanted to do something with colour and texture. Now I have a big set of images like this that I don't know what to do with!

Would they work as prints? They look maybe more like postcards to me.
