INFINITE.REGENERATION
200,000 particles float silently through a Perlin noise field. Each particle is rendered as an ellipse of variable size. Half the particles are white, half are black. The black particles are mirrored along the vertical axis opposite of their white counterparts. A space camera allows interactive flight into and through the composition. Particles that have…

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. A beautiful symbolic language haunts your imagination as the story develops. After exploring the realms by foot and flight, the symbols’ meaning becomes clear. Largely indecipherable, the characters can be generated quite…

ASEMIC.ILLUSTRATION.1
Uninterpretable technical diagrams in the asemic writing tradition. This is a place and test algorithm using four geometric objects. The point source object, a randomly placed position from which everything manifests. The arc, a curved line with a centroid around some point source object. The radiant, a straight line that originates on an arc and…

BUDDHABROT
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. The point is iterated through the function, z = zˆ2 + c, where z has components in both the…

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. The path explodes into a tiny brilliant dot on its last cycle. A variation in which paths begin on a ring and emanate inward. Download Source Code Programmed…

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. A familiar ring form exists in a cycle of emergence and dissipation. New particles emit on an ellipse in three dimensional space. A noise field guides the direction and speed…

SHIP.HULL
A combinatoric spaceship generator. This system takes the classic Asteroids delta shape and randomly adds primitive geometries to create unique spaceship designs. Each added shape is a circle, triangle, square, or line. Shapes are randomly translated, rotated, and scaled. Each shape reflects about the lateral axis for a symmetric appearance. This project was created in…

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 In Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA Around 10:01am December December 11, 2019 Derived from prior work by Symmetries In Chaos

VENATION
The veins below are composed of thousands of self-similar cells linked together. Randomly distributed hormone sources alert nearby cells of their location. The cell grows toward the source by instantiating new cells in that direction. In this fashion the vein system is generated. Final composition can be finely crafted through the careful selection of hormone…
