It took a while to get the right feeling, but I’m very happy with the results. Generated with actionscript, colorized with Photoshop. Orginal render size is 4800×4800 px. It’s full of details!

Sometimes I don’t know what to think of generative art. I don’t know if these images I created could be called (or what ‘they’ called) art, or if they are just some other renders. Sometimes it feels nothing more than lines, colors. Some people who see it really love it, but at some moments I don’t know how to think about it.

But take a look at it, they have so many details (see the big sizes if you have a flickr account). I cannot count the lines, but can have a endless watch to see if there’s a message in it. A secret sign or something else I didn’t coded. How can such useless lines be that interesting? I don’t get it..

A lot of people ask me how to create this images. If you don’t want to learn to code, just freak out with photoshop. First, when you really want to this: learn a coding-language, like actionscript. Download a nice actionscript-editor, like FlashDevelop. This makes coding more easily & comfortable. You also could learn processing. I don’t know a lot about it, but I’ve seen wonderful things created with it.

I just had an idea for a new generative render, so I started a some simple line tests. I calculated a motion-path. Around this path are moving multiple other sprites, that’s why we see a chain-like-line. Click to see high-res larger images (1200×1200 px)

That looked nice to me. I modified the code, to add some colors to it and make a better composition. The first 2 are some test with color and borderwidth, so you could see the process.

I’m kinda happy with this result. Maybe I generate a 10.000×10.000 render of this one, so I could print it at large format.
