Genuary 1 - Coffee

The Genuary prompt was "horizontal or vertical lines only". It was New Year's Day and I needed coffee so attached an Arduino and temperature sensor and made coloured lines appear in Processing depending on the temperature.

Genuary 2 & 3

Genuary 2:

The Genuary prompt was layers upon layers upon layers. I took a number of sound recordings and ended up with layers of sound. The version I liked most though was various recordings of birds outside my house. Layers of Birds: https://m.soundcloud.com/user-592158466/layers-of-birds

Genuary 3:

42 lines of code.

I wanted to use an Esolang for this but couldn't find one that seemed suited to make generative art and I could write 42 lines of.

Then I started writing some code in Atari Basic, but my computer crashed and I gave up and went to Processing.

In the end I had distorted asterisks (as 42 is the ASCII code for an asterisk.)

Genuary 4 - Morse code cross stitch

The prompt was "black on black" so I wrote some code to generate a random sentence and then create a cross-stitch pattern of morse code for that sentence. I then sewed the pattern with black thread onto black Aida fabric. The shades of black are closer to each other in real life than they look on the photo so it was a bit tricky to stitch!
