Genuary 15 - 21
Feb. 5th, 2023 03:24 pmGenuary 15: Jumping
I jumped and the sine wave changed! Jumping on the pressure mat caused the frequency of the sine wave to randomly change, via Processing and an Arduino. Video on Flickr: Pressure mat and sine waves.
Genuary 16: Reflection of a reflection
I took a photo of a reflection and flipped it, and then created a fake reflection of that in Processing, adding some speckles and flipping it.

Jan. 17th, 2023 09:18 pmGenuary 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.

Genuary 1 - 7
Jan. 13th, 2023 07:32 pmI've been taking part in Genuary this month. The idea is to create generative art every day for the month of January, and there are prompts given every day.
Genuary 1: Zoetrope
The prompt for the 1st was "Perfect loop / Infinite loop / endless GIFs", but on the 1st of January, I did not have access to a computer. At first I tried making slides for an old View Master I found, but that was too tricky, so I ended up making a simple Zoetrope, with a marble in the middle. I rolled dice to determine where coloured dots should be placed.

Genuary 2: Listening to coffee
For the prompt, "Made in ten minutes", I made a cup of coffee and listened to it for 10 minutes. The sounds changed as the temperature changed. I used an Arduino, a temperature sensor and Processing for this. See the video on Flickr by clicking the image:
