Josh Millard made this cool web app that uses a Markov model to generate Garfield comics. Most of them are pretty nonsensical, but if you try for a while you can usually find a few good ones.

One of my friends pointed these videos out to me. In the first one Daito Manabe uses Myoelectrodes (electrodes for sensing muscle tension) to make music with his body movements. In the second, he turns the setup around and uses electrical … Continue reading →

I found a very interesting sketch on openprocessing.org: Fabric Simulation This sketch is interesting because it uses complex mathematical methods (i.e. Verlet Integration) to represent something so mundane. Also, the inherent gravity in the simulation can be turned on/off, and … Continue reading →

http://openprocessing.org/visuals/?visualID=3767   This project seemed very cool, since the code itself was the art: Code: void setup() {   love(“my_road”,”your_road”,”you&me”); } voidlove(Stringy, Stringm, Stringl){   if(y!=m) l.split(“&”);   love(y,m,l); } On certain machines, the code will throw a StackOverflow error, which is (presumably) the artist’s statement … Continue reading →

In search of inspiration for Exercise 2, I browsed through sketches on OpenProcessing.org with the tag “text”. This is one I found particularly interesting, because it achieves almost exactly what we are supposed to achieve for Exercise 2 – it … Continue reading →

http://www.screamyguy.net/gallery/index.htm The above sketch is very impressive – it’s a virtual 3d art gallery that you can walk around in (and get this – there’s a jetpack button). This might be a good example if you’re curious about powerful 3d … Continue reading →

This program makes a 3D model based on the structure of the text input.  By visually representing the structure of the text, it highlights this dimension of writing. Many of the algorithms we will be experimenting with will probably strip … Continue reading →

This program creates a very stylized graphic pattern at the clicking point. Again, like many other generative artworks, this is done with pretty simple code. What I find of particular interest is how the author creates a subtle “brush” effect. … Continue reading →

A piece I found interesting done in processing is a tree generator I found on OpenProcessing a week ago. My first reaction was, that’s so pretty, and I liked it for it’s simple beauty. It is aesthetically pleasing to me. … Continue reading →
