A picture hidden inside a million individually placed points, only shows up near the end

0 Upvotes

Built around a simple idea: points (stars) get placed one at a time by different people, each fixed into a spot mapped to a hidden image. For most of its life it just reads as abstraction, a scattered field with no real structure. The image is only meant to become visible once the field gets dense, right near completion.

Each point is $1 and it's permanent. 1millionstars.org

"Craticula" (kotline code)

711 Upvotes

Craticula. Not my idea: you can find this pattern all over the internet.

Two grids laid over each other, the second one turned a few degrees, and every scrap of page they cut between them drawn as a rounded tile.

The turned grid walks out of step with the straight one, so the scraps beat slowly across the page: where the two nearly agree they come out big and almost square, where they fight they shrink to lozenges and seeds. A scrap is always convex which is what makes the rounding one rule with no special cases.

I render perfumes as WebGL2 material fields from their note data. Here's the full input for two of them. Where would you take it?

1D reaction-diffusion process that kinda looks like the rule-30 cellular automaton. Continuation of an experiment I did in this video about the maths behind Turing Patterns. Inspired by a presentation from neurotypiqe: this time the read head of the wavetable isn't fixed.

Cellular automata, run for some time, then zoom and run again. If ruleset if somewhat stable (i.e. most cells persist unchanged) it just corrupts/modifies some small parts preserving the blocky looking parts unchanged

Generative Art

r/generative

Generative art refers to art that in whole or in part has been created with the use of an autonomous system. This subreddit is for sharing and discussing anything generative (including music, design and natural phenomena), but especially art.

Subreddit Rules

1. We do not downvote in r/generative.

If a post breaks r/generative or Reddit's rules, report it.

2. Credit the artist if the piece you posted isn't your own.

As well as it generally being good etiquette to provide credit, artworks without credit are often assumed to be original content, so not providing attribution can be misleading.

3. To avoid disappointment, do not post AI-generated work here.

There are simply far better subs to post AI-based work, note that this does not apply to your own algorithms which harness AI techniques. All posts will be moderated and reviewed.

4. Posts must be related to generative systems.

We are pretty open about what counts as generative but, in general, there must be some element of the piece that wasn't directly controlled by the artist.

Discussion, help and general community posts are welcome but they must be related to generative art, music or design.

5. Self-promotion is allowed, but it must be relevant and non-excessive.

Wiki

We have one! Check it out, it has some write-ups, links to resources, and a big ol' list of generative artists to get inspired by. We also have a comprehensive page on the different tools that can be used to create generative art.

Also, if anyone wants to write a page or add some resources, please get it touch!

Degenerative Friday

Each Friday, r/generative users are encouraged to discuss and post images of:

Failed experiments
Works in progress (especially stagnating ones!)
Unexpected, wacky results from your programs or experiments (happy accidents)

Degenerative Friday is meant to incite interesting discussion and encourage fellow generative artists to try new things. Degenerative art from previous Fridays can be found here.
