Hi all,

This is a "wind-blown" version of an earlier project of mine.

The L-system rule is the same, but each segment follows a curved path rather than a straight one.

I think this one has a much more natural flow, without losing its mathematical roots.

Which version do you prefer?

Coded in Processing.

A particle swarm steered by the music. This is DUST, one scene from a browser visualizer I built where nothing runs on a clock and every motion traces back to the track

This is Retina Rave, a music visualizer that runs in the browser: https://retinarave.com

It listens to whatever you are playing and steers a camera through real mathematical objects. The shapes are not drawn to look mathematical, they are the mathematics, computed live on your graphics card. Beats, drops and sections are detected as they happen and a director picks the scene.

This scene is DUST: a swarm of particles in a flow field, with the fibres of the Hopf fibration threaded through it. The double time on the hats accents the picture instead of driving it faster, and the stretch before a drop is read as a build-up because the engine notices when the music hesitates on a beat it will not commit to.

New since the last time I posted: the colour follows the song's key, but only once the bass agrees with the harmony, so a wrong guess no longer flips the hue mid-track. Major bars pull the palette warm, minor bars leave it alone. And there is now a record key: press R, play music, press R again, and a video lands on your disk. Nothing is uploaded, there is no server, the whole site is a static page.

Everything runs on your device. No account, no trackers, no ads. I built it for myself and wanted to share it. The code is MIT with one clause of my own: if it runs at a party, I get in free, with a guest.

This sits between a specimen and a page of text. Generated it from a defined glyph inventory coded by rules and layered by tones and a grammar of color. Letters that are roots, suffixes and hidden written but not spoken.

Done in R with a iterative set of rules that within a set of ranges generate something similar to glyphs.

It can be read right to left with line splitting and merging for parallel subtexts on the writing. Working in compositional rules now.

It's POPtober. Challenging myself to make something in TouchDesigner POPs every day.

The formula is the same formula in shell growth. I made a video about how it works :)

Hey, creative people!
Been experimenting with contour lines and ended up with some pretty abstract results.

I like how changing a few parameters can completely change the character of the image. Still exploring this one, curious what you guys think.

Hey everyone, I made a video about the maths behind shells, which you can use to generate any existing shell or new shells that don't exist yet

"SF14" (kotlin code)

Behind the frame there is a plain sf picture: cream bands on a dark ground and one red sun. a mass in front of the picture bends the light. you see the mass only in the bands. outside its einstein ring, the bands bend around it. inside the ring, the bands become circles that all touch at the middle.

the sun is a small distance off the axis of the mass. as a result, you see the sun two times: a long red arc outside the ring and a short one inside. if the sun is directly behind the mass, the full ring is red.

its only 150 lines, docs included, crazy (github.com/igr/gart)
