Generative Art

This image is created using a substitution system using simple substitution rules to create the patterns. For more information, check out the code and readme here or check out the interactive website to create your own art :)

Ok vacation for a couple weeks, ttyl folks

No work and no art on this vacation! Just relaxation. ❤️

Video description:

A prototype of the project of virtual breeding of digital plants by crossing. Each plant has a genome, which is an array of numbers. By crossing plants (mixing their genome), we get a new kind of plant. In this way, you can get very interesting and unusual results.

Summary generated by claude.ai from the video transcript:

A generative art project to create abstract images of imaginary plants. The creator starts with a genome represented as a sequence of numbers that gets fed into an algorithm to generate plant images. By evolving the genomes through processes like mutation and crossover, new plant images emerge. The creator discusses the challenges of defining an objective fitness function, since beauty is subjective. Without a fitness function for natural selection, the creator resorts to artificial selection by manually choosing genomes to crossover. The resulting plants have unique, imaginary qualities that can't be precisely predicted in advance. The creator notes some possible rules to make the plants more unique, like limiting how similar parent genomes can be. Overall, the project aims to explore an abstract generative space of imaginary plants through evolutionary techniques.

Part of my "noise" series, it's just noise. Sorry if the gif upload is screwy, it's hard to share large gif files here.

Working on this, having a lot of fun trying to balance the glitchiness with the organic vibes.

Welcome to the ultimate pico_punk generator! This interactive token is a parameter based generator that creates unique pico_punk generators. Each one will generate one pico_punk with a number of layers chosen by you during the parameter selection phase. Additionally, you can use the buttons to navigate the generative space, and create your own pico_punks via an interactive process of discovery. This is the final pico_punk generator I intend to make, with the extra capabilities added by the parameter selection process, and the final tweaks and changes I made to the appearances and effects, I think this project is now as complete as I can ever make it.

The controls:

• arrow keys: move through the generative space... each step adds one layer to the composition
• x button: take a screenshot of the generated pico_punk
• o button: clear all layers except the current one (clean slate for building a new pico_punk)

Each layer has a chance to apply one of various visual effects, which vary in how transformative (or disruptive) they are.

Click the "params" button on fxhash to play with the setttings and configure your own generator.

This is my second "Utility" token. Like the first one, it is also a clock. It tells the time, which is very useful. This clock layout is based on my favorite pebble watch-face: "Hop Picker Watch" by Grégoire Sage https://apps.rebble.io/en_US/application/52f2c9ddab54ff806f000088

What I like about telling time this way is that it is intentionally imprecise. You don't need to know the exact time, this is good enough, and at a glace you get everything you need. This is the perfect amount of entropy for telling time.

The background is animated, and uses entropy locking to create colorful noise on the screen. The seed changes every minute and so does the animation.

Reading the time: the hand indicates the hour + minute position on a 12h clock. Dots are placed every 15 minutes, large dots on the hour. The number close to the center of the clock is the day of the month (eg. 3 in the thumbnail image).

(click the link to run the clock in fullscreen, it's animated and actually works as a clock lol)
