A ‘hand made’ algorithm/generative art
This work was created over a number of months in 2004 using a 2D paint program. All of the lines were drawn by hand, by me according to the following rules: there are nine differently coloured lines: yellow, orange, red, burgundy, light blue, medium blue, dark blue, light green, and dark green, that weave together to fill an area 299 x 299 pixels in size. The lines may branch and the entire design is vertically symmetrical.
See the video below and the videos on my You Tube channel that replay the process of creation and display some of the differently coloured lines in isolation. The is one of the strategies that I employ in much of my computer graphics work in order to reveal the creative process that went into the structure’s construction.
This is my second large scale generative work (the first being ‘maze drawing‘) and it is a process that I have revisited many times over the past two decades. I have written software (in Processing) that allows me to produce the same kind of structure in 3D and replay its creation and I am also working on structures created and animated in Blender (open source 3D modelling and animation software) that do the same thing.
