Stuff I’m playing with…..

I’m getting really excited about Creative Code (ART 348) next fall. Here are some sketches I’ve been playing with. The initial code came from the book, “generative art. a practical guide using processing” by Matt Pearson . (GREAT BOOK!) Then I went in and changed it. I’ll post the applet asap so you can play too.

I spent a lot of this summer running and working on generative drawings (drawings generated by computer code). The drawings on the headers here were created by gathering gps info from my runs and translating that data into drawings. The individual shapes were drawn by me, and then run through Processing (an open source software using Java) to create the images. Distance, speed and altitude were used to dictate placement of the shapes, lightness or darkness and (sometimes) size.
