These are fully rendered versions of the project ‘lines – r+b continuous, unbranched’. I am constructing, online, an open-ended structure that I can continue to add to indefinitely. It consists of only two lines, one red, one blue, that expand outwardly from a central location and wind around each other arbitrarily. I have been adding to this one for about a month (as of March 15, 2024). You can see the latest progress on my website here:
see the app here don’t be afraid:
There is an app running on this page that displays the 3D structure. You can use your mouse to move it around, pan, zoom, etc.. If you press ‘p’ on your keyboard, a playback of the construction process, the order that the cubes were added, begins. Note that both lines are made by just lining up cubes in a row. I am going to continue adding to this structure indefinitely – until my computer runs out of memory/processing power. I am up to 2418 cubes so far which sounds like a lot but there is actually plenty of room to expand. I need to make the structure as computationally lean as possible – cubes are the most basic and fastest 3D objects that you can use.
The structure is initially created in Blender (3D modelling program) where I just place cubes manually in 3D space. The two images at the top of this post are renders from Blender and there is a lot that can be done in Blender! Animations coming soon (just finished some today). I then export them out of Blender and import them into a three.js Javascript app that I can run in the browser and on my website, as you can see from the link above and the third image in this post.
I am extremely happy to see these apps up and running on my website. This is something I have always been driving towards – online artwork using 3D graphics and sound. Well here it is, finally. I was never even sure if I would be able to really do this..anyways, what you see above is exactly what I have been after, what I had in mind. Three.js is *excellent*.
This is ongoing artwork – the structures will change over time as I modify (and mostly add to) each of them. There will be occasional updates, like this one, where I take snapshots and record animations of the current state of the art (haha) – state of the artwork.
And from there you will find the results in my online shop – prints and paintings drawn from occasional updates of continuously evolving (and theoretically endless) spontaneously expanding online artwork structures.
Architecture of the psyche.
Note that this animation and others that I am working on like it, make excellent concert/performance backdrops, slowly and unpredictably expanding over time to form a very personal and human structure.
