    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…

    INVADER.SUPER.RING

    The Invader is a special grid construction of black and white squares.  I have generated millions of them.  They are familiar friends. Previously arranged in order or in a fractal, here they are arranged in concentric rings.  Rings vary in width.  Invader scale and distribution is set to fit accordingly. One variation identifies and highlights heart shaped Invaders in…

    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.

  • ORBITALS.VARIATION B

    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. All other particles…
