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. Programmed in Processing By Jared S Tarbell In Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA Around 11:36am November 20, 2019

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. Breaking through the third dimension felt great. It was often implemented in the form of screensavers or animation demonstrations. You could…

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. One such classic algorithm is this, place a very small circle into a field and grow that circle until it hits another circle or the edge. Repeat until no room is left for…

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. My most ambitious project, abandoned in early 2011 when I chose to leave the company. Programmed in Flash AS3 By Jared S Tarbell In Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA Around January…

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. Red helps isolate changes to the algorithm. Programmed in Processing By Jared S Tarbell In Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA Around 9:54pm May 1, 2015

ORBIT.CLOCK
Nodes orbit a central location in groups of variable intervals. Lines connect nearby nodes. Syncopated cycles move groups of nodes around a central location. The elements of the clock construction are exposed over time. Movement reveals a tapestry of relationships.

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. I was surprised to find the dodecahedron in there.

BUDDHA.BROT
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…
