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.
