Algorithms

• 

  NOISE.FIELD

  Particles follow paths derived from a two dimensional Perlin noise function. Paths are rendered with translucent pixels, making common areas bright.

• 

  INVADER.SUPER.RING

  The Invader is a special grid construction of black and white squares. I have generated millions of them.

• 

  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.

• 

  BINARY.AGES

  A system of path tracing particles evolves continually from an initial creation event. Ages of darkness play arbitrarily with ages of light.

• 

  ORBIT.CLOCK

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

• 

  NOISE.CIRCLE

  A rotating line of white noise reveals something looking back at me. In this post, the images show my development process.

• 

  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.

• 

  ORBITALS.VARIATION B

  The Orbitals is a collection of particles operating on one simple rule: choose another particle in the system and orbit it with a fixed radius at a constant velocity. This is variation B (see Orbitals Variation A).In this variation, a single root particle is instantiated in the center of the stage.

• 

  ORBITALS.VARIATION A

  The Orbitals is a collection of particles operating on one simple rule: choose another particle in the system and orbit it with a fixed radius at a constant velocity. This is variation A (see Orbitals Variation B).To set the rendering stage, particles are randomly introduced into the system.

• 

  NODE.GARDEN

  Nodes are instantiated on irregular curving lines. When connected together, they form a Node Garden.
