While working on a program to implement an ant colony simulation, I discovered that I had a program that did a nice job of simulating natural media painting. The following landscape image is the…Continue

Consequently I had to re-install all my programs.As a part of re-installing Processing I decided to create an installation tutorial explaining the steps I performed. So for those interested, check out my tutorial Installing Processing 3.x on…See More

From Ant Colony Simulation to Natural Media Painting

While working on a program to implement an ant colony simulation, I discovered that I had a program that did a nice job of simulating natural media painting. The following landscape image is the result of an initial test of having the ants sample an underlying photograph and paint their trail.…See More

Fascinating video on Charting culture

Here is a fascinating video on the charting of western culture. Quoting from the page "Culture spreads through people, but how does that really happen? This data visualisation from Nature Video charts the movement of 120,000 prominent cultural figures – predominantly European and North American – between 600 BC and 2012 CE, by plotting lines between where each one was born and died. The resulting map reveals not only how religion, technology, resources and mass migrations entwine with the…See More

Particles Plus Fields Experiment

After six months of not writing any graphics programs, last week I dove back into the process by writing a Processing program that combined particles, a variety of force fields, and masking.The program began simply (which is the best way to begin any programming project) and acquired added flexibility and complexity as more functionality was added. The particle image shown above is a sample made before the…See More

"Hi Cynthia, Ouch, the last time I checked in here was when I posted that video so here is a response to you 6 months late. My intent was to demonstrate how the generative process could alter an existing work of art. To me the demonstration was more…"

"Thanks for sharing.  The video itself is interesting - but I also find the question of interacting with the work of a dead artist to be philosophically intriguing. Do artists carry the work forward into the aesthetic of the next century when…"

Video Project - The Liquified Paintings of Claude Monet

Recently I've been spending a fair amount of time researching generative art processes. One of the products of this research was a video I created using Processing. It is a generative animation of six of Monet's paintings.  You can read see the video and read more about it at …See More
