Algorithms

• 

  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.

• 

  BLENDED.ENDS

  A randomly subdivided quad tree fills the voids with blended lines. Each line is drawn from top left to bottom right, with an offset midpoint and thick colorful halo.

• 

  BLENDED.ARCS

  Subdivided regions draw partially completed circles as pie sliced arcs. When stacks of arcs overlap each other, the machine inverts both layers, multiplies them, and then inverts that result.

• 

  BLENDED.TRIS

  Another algorithm in the Blended Arcs and Blended Ends modality. Recursive regions are filled this time with triangles, eventually becoming tiny villages of computational gnomes.

• 

  SPACE.FLIGHT

  Endless generative flight through a field of stars inspired by my partnership in Deep Space Coffee. Flying through a field of stars was one of the first great computer programs I remember as a child.

• 

  CIRCLES.INSIDE.CIRCLES

  Packing circles into a finite space is fun. Especially when you use lazy algorithms that place and test, rather than do any hard math.

• 

  ABANDONED.ETSY.MANDALA

  My last project for Etsy. It was to be a mandala, a custom generated visualization of friendships, favorites, and shop activity with you at the center.

• 

  YARN.STRETCHER

  Exploration of a childhood craft stretching yarn between two adjacent lines of pins, many many many times. I often use red in debugging situations.

• 

  ORBIT.CLOCK

  Nodes orbit a central location in groups of variable intervals. Lines connect nearby nodes.

• 

  METATRON’S.CUBE

  During times of creative drought, I sometimes turn to classic geometric forms. Today I recreated well known constructions from the Metatron Cube.
