Today's exploration.

A series of blue lines that squiggle as they near the bottom of the screen atop simulated brushstrokes in dark green, pale green, dark blue, and slate blue.

Back to making #DigitalArt in #JuliaLang

#CreativeCoding #AbstractArt #Art
Two large yellow-ish blobs that look as though they were scraped down a canvas with a trowel are alongside a series of rough lines on the right side of the image. The lines have a slight slant, and are a brown color. Near the bottom of each line it begins to wander and wiggle, only to straighten out as it continues downward.

Finally got around to building my KLOR keyboard, and I have to say I'm really loving it so far! 🎉

#MechanicalKeyboard #DIY #keyboard
A KLOR 36 key mechanical keyboard. Black case with white and gray keycaps. It's split into two halves, and these halves are joined by a silver cable with brass plugs.

Completed this painting recently. I've transitioned to a mode of art making where I create computer algorithms that generate images, which I then paint by hand. I find mapping rigid computer-based processes to the messy real world to be extremely satisfying.

A painted wood panel with a white background. There is a green and brown geometric pattern painted in acrylic paint that resembles a technical drawing or architectural rendering.

Made some "art trading cards" for an upcoming end-of-term art club party at my local community college (where I've been taking painting classes).

Looking forward to seeing what other folks bring - I'm the only person making such aggressively abstract work. 😅

#PenPlotter #CreativeCoding #Art
A bamboo desk with five small works of art on them, each 63mm x 88mm. They are in black and yellow, and the artwork is abstract line work based on a recursive algorithm that subdivides space in a regular way. The results are reminiscent of technical drawings. There are three Rotring Isograph pens on the left side of the trading cards, and two bottles of ink above them.

My first plots in a while. Had a break from generative stuff and took the hands-on route instead.

A ghostlike image of swirling paths moving through space and overlapping one another, in a similar but not identical pattern. Grayish-blue against a black background.

I spent yesterday plotting this very detailed image. Regular paper didn't hold up to the image's many overlapping strokes unless I used a ballpoint, which shed ink in a distracting way.

In the end, Yupo paper provided the best result. Amazing detail/tonal gradation. 🔥

#PenPlotter #CreativeCoding
A photo of a pen plot of a physics simulation gone wrong. There are many overlapping black lines that seem to move chaotically across the page, while darker regions seem to form an abstract pattern of loops and curves.

Another PCB test, this time with the detail turned up. 🔎

I've been trying to understand what draws me to this aesthetic, and I think it's because I find there to be a certain beauty in the complexity of modern technology, especially when mixed with an organic component.

A generated image of a printed circuit board, with an organic complexity unlike normal PCBs.

For some reason today I decided to try to replicate the aesthetic of a printed circuit board.

I have some vague ideas of how I might apply this in the future, but just getting it to this point was interesting.

#GenArtClub #CreativeCoding
A digitally generated image that resembles a printed circuit board, with a dark green background, lighter green traces, and yellow contact points. There are many different traces that move from one side of the image the other, in a maze-like fashion.

#Genuary26: Symmetry

I think the outputs from this algorithm would make cool/interesting stained glass.

#CreativeCoding #Genuary #GenArtClub
Blue, orange, and red nested triangles form symmetric shapes around the y-axis.

Somewhat hilariously, my creative coding library didn't support triangles. It could draw rectangles, circles, and lines in HDR really, really fast. But not triangles. 😅

No longer! Today I read some OpenGL specs and added fast tris to the mix. 🎉

Small victories, lol.

#GenArtClub #CreativeCoding
A complex set of larger triangles that are broken down into smaller triangles recursively. There are larger yellow triangles that contain many smaller light and dark gray triangles, all of which are separated by small bits of whitespace.

Plotted an output from my recent #genuary triangular subdivision algorithm. Needs some color, IMO, but has potential.

0.2mm Rotring Isograph on 9x12 Bristol

#PenPlotter #CreativeCoding
A chaotic yet symmetric structure made from many triangles subdivided, forming an abstract pattern with a concentration of activity around the center.

#Genuary 12/13/14: A line-based triangle subdivision algorithm

Three prompts in one project/day is some kind of record for me, but these all fit together so nicely I couldn't resist. I want to go back and color the tris, though. Soon.

#CreativeCoding #genuary12 #genuary13 #genuary14 #GenArtClub
A triangular shape that is broken into smaller triangular shapes in a curving recursive fashion. A square image that is broken into small triangles, forming an abstract shape with long slender triangles over many, many smaller triangles.
