squirmeliaGenuary 8: Sequins sparkling
The theme for day 8 was "signed distance functions". I did not know what they were but I read the Wikipedia page, I watched videos, and eventually understood what they were. I did not really do anything exciting with them though, just iterated on playing with circles.
They ended up looking kind of like sequins.

Then they ended up looking like a strangely coloured rainbow:
Genuary 9: Coriander
I listened to some coriander. For Genuary's plant prompt, I hooked up a coriander plant to a Touch Board and to Max.

Genuary 10: Salad
I photographed coriander, spring onions, kale, red cabbage and avocado and opened them in Audacity, converted them to sound files, and played them at random using Processing.

Genuary 11: Suprematism
I learnt about Suprematism from the Wikipedia article and then attempted to create my own, with shapes appearing randomly and colours chosen randomly.
Genuary 12: Tessellating
I think I was tired when I attempted to tessellate, as things were not working properly to start with, but sometimes I like the things that aren't quite right more.
Not really the triangles I was hoping for:
Nor these:
Some attempts at tessellation, videos on Flickr:
Big zig-zags:
More zig-zags:
Small triangles:
Genuary 13: Spectrum lines
The prompt was "something you've always wanted to learn," so I went retro and to Sinclair Basic. The lines were drawn in Sinclair BASIC and run on a ZX Spectrum emulator.

Genuary 14: Squiggles
The prompt was "Aesemic", so I tried to create something that looked a bit like writing. This was a prompt that I felt like I could have spent a lot more time on to get something that looked more writing-like! It made me think about what writing looked like though.

Thank you, that's a nicely bite-sized WTF to go with my morning coffee.
