A ‘hand made’ algorithm/generative art
This is my first large scale generative work created over a number of months during 2003, 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 around eachother to fill an area 299 x 299 pixels in size. The lines may not branch and are all of a similar (but not exactly the same) length. They bend arbitrarily to mimic the ‘shanty town’ structure – a form that this piece was inspired by. Spontaneous structure.
See the video below for a playback of the process of creation. This 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.
