NINE.DOT.THING
Combinatoric system connecting nine dots arranged in a 3×3 grid. There are 362,880 possible combinations with rotations and reversals allowed. Artistic renditions eliminate crossings for select dots.

SPIRITUAL.NOISE.MACHINE
Long exposures within a Perlin Noise field machine. This sketch began as a BlendMode test within the Processing development environment. How fast could I render particles using the built in feature? Very fast, it turns out. Through interactive commands I allow the size and speed of the particles to change. I also allow them to…

BLENDED.ENDS
A randomly subdivided quad tree fills the voids with blended lines. Each line is drawn from top left to bottom right, with an offset midpoint and thick colorful halo. The subdivision process builds complexity until resulting regions reach a minimum area. Images are displayed in reverse order of creation. Programmed in Processing By Jared S…

BLENDED.ARCS
Subdivided regions draw partially completed circles as pie sliced arcs. When stacks of arcs overlap each other, the machine inverts both layers, multiplies them, and then inverts that result. The color then tends to always get brighter, towards white. Blend mode is built into Processing. This is an derivation of Blended Ends. Programmed in Processing…

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. In this version of the algorithm, the stars are not depth-sorted correctly, so near and far stars are drawn in the wrong order. The greyscale rendering makes this visible, revealing that the sense of depth is only simulated. Even without…

GLOW.LIGHTS
Glow Lights is a field of small luminous glyphs on a black ground. Each light is assembled from a simple vocabulary of white forms: the solid disc, the ring, nested rings, a halo of dots, and a few orbiting satellites. Lights shift slowly from one form to another, so the whole field flickers and breathes…
