fibonacci flowers uses the Golden Ratio (from the Fibonacci sequence) to build the final art piece. The graphic is a basic oval that is simply rotated and enlarged. The ratio between the bigger leaf of the flower and the original is the same as the ratio between the smaller section and the bigger section (0.6180339).

man with motion waves is a generative grid composed of a simple graphic. Motion is constructed using nested for loops. Within the grid, the shapes grow and shrink in waves. The pattern may seem unruly at first, but after a short time, a controlled wave emerges.

interactive motion uses a recursive function call and therefore the final animation will depend on the processor speed of the computer running it. This piece is also interactive and will change direction depending on how you move the mouse. The code duplicates the graphic in modified positions and alphas across the screen.

recursive paint also uses a recursive function call to turn the simple graphic into a twisting rope. The twisting and looping is generated by simple trigonometry. Recursion is tricky and the final piece is unpredictable because memory resources can be consumed quickly. This piece is also interactive and will regenerate again when the user clicks the center of the piece.
