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…

SHIPIBO.PATTERN

The Shipibo are an indigenous tribe that live in the Amazon Jungle in Peru. During ceremony, a particular pattern is seen and heard by these people as a description of the reality of nature.

NODE.GARDEN.2020

A darker, more contemplative return to the Node.Garden from 2004. 10,000 nodes are organized along snaking spine objects. The spines emanate from a computationally defined path. The path is a ring in some cases and a straight horizontal line. in others. The rendering process for this algorithm uses a multi-step approach. One by one, layers of the…

IMAGINARY.MACHINES

I was contracted by an imaginary client to build an interface for their imaginary machines. This project connects nodes in a ribbon lattice similar to the sacred Tree of Life. A multi-mode blending technique screens colors together while also multiplying darkness. Labels are added post-construction, randomly assembled from two word lists (adjectives and nouns). Early…

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…

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.
