Small Influence, Big Impact
For the final task „create your own generative postcard“ I did a remake of a project called „Orbit“ which I created back in 1997 on a HP 48GX. After more than one hour computing time I got this: Only this time I simulated many comets instead of only one – in „real-time“. Then I randomized…

Pac-Man Goes Cannibal
This week was about strings, text, objects, type and typography. That’s why one of the exercises was to create a „Digital Clock“ – we used Frutiger’s font! I hope you like my breathing circles: To practice object-oriented programming I created „Pac-Man Goes Cannibal“ – there is a lot of room for improvement – e.g. make…

Brownian Motion (Reloaded)
Foreword: Processing is a flexible software sketchbook and a language for learning how to code within the context of the visual arts. In this workshop you’ll make your first steps! I took part in an online course about „Creative Coding“ – I’ll share lessons learned and assist your first steps. Install Processing beforehand. We want…

Find the Chameleon: Modes #1 #2 #3 #4
I guess you could call it „digital conceptual blatant art“ (DCBA). I’ve taken a picture of a chameleon and subjected it to four pixel based operations (modes) and sorted them in rising file size / randomness: Don’t worry if you do not find the chameleon in modes #1, #3 and #4 but once you’ve found…

Actor Driving Through „Process 0“ (VFX)
The exercise was to create a composition of a green screen clip. I took the driving actor provided by the course instructors and added a variation of Process 0 in the background: I used Blender’s node editor for the task. This video tutorial helped me a lot! The soundtrack „The Simplest (Sting)“ by Jingle Punks…

Process 0 #0793
This week I imagined the day when computers create art to awe other computers, I wondered how much randomness one can add before chaos takes over, and, finally, I found an application for exp() 😉 I like the notion of creativity as a social and cultural activity – brains as synapses of a much bigger…

Mouse Regulated Pattern
I started out with a Processing sketch (code) provided by the course instructors. The soundtrack „Prelude No. 14“ by Chris Zabriskie is taken from YouTube’s audio library: A few rules generate intricate patterns – it’s fascinating! I’ve published my sketch on GitHub. Use the mouse to control the pattern: frame rate (left/right), cell size (up…

Drawing with Processing
For the online course Creative Coding we were asked to draw with Processing (a software sketchbook). I used the Processing sketches (code) provided by the course instructors 🙂 The course participants are asked to post their submissions on Flickr in the Monash Creative Coding group. Additionally, I collect mine in the Creative Coding album. Have…
