Algorithms – Jared S Tarbell

INFINITE.REGENERATION

200,000 particles float silently through a Perlin noise field. Each particle is rendered as an ellipse of variable size.

JOURNEY.ICONOGRAPHY

Journey is a contemplative video game set in distant land riddled with mystery. It was created by my favorite game developer Jenova Chen.

ASEMIC.ILLUSTRATION.1

Uninterpretable technical diagrams in the asemic writing tradition. This is a place and test algorithm using four geometric objects.

The Buddhabrot Set is a re-visualization of the familiar Mandelbrot Set using a technique invented by Melinda Green. Instead of selecting points on the real-complex plane, initial points are selected at random from the image region.

CONCENTRIC.PATHS

Concentric maze walking lines emanate from a central location alternating between ages of light and dark. Each path has a limited number of cycles through the machine.

INFINITE.DISINTEGRATION

We are like waves, rushing towards the shore, moment to moment made up of new matter. This particle generating system attempts to explore this idea.

SHIP.HULL

A combinatoric spaceship generator. This system takes the classic Asteroids delta shape and randomly adds primitive geometries to create unique spaceship designs.

DIFFERENTIAL.GROWTH

Thirty years of programming and all I can do is watch in amazement as this specially connected force-repulsion network grows. Programmed in Processing By Jared S Tarbell

VENATION

The veins below are composed of thousands of self-similar cells linked together. Randomly distributed hormone sources alert nearby cells of their location.

BLACK.SNAKES

Geometric, highly angular black snakes vomited from my spiritual psyche. Snake components occupy virtual grid, slight variations in relative angular placement perturbs the final form.

HEAD.EXPLODE

Head explode, get new head. These images are created from a long exposure particle scattering machine.

NINE.DOT.THING

Combinatoric system connecting nine dots arranged in a 3×3 grid. There are 362,880 possible combinations with rotations and reversals allowed.
