Processing sketch which takes video input and based on mouse click color selection, calculates the center of gravity of the selected color amongst the pixels in the video and attracts surrounding pixels to that point, removing saturation and acceleration towards center
SmokyBits: Generative Spray Painting Clouds
This week I created a program that allows you to paint particle clouds. The clouds shift and overwrite each others colors / fade to white based on random noise.
TunnelFlow: Processing Pixels With Trigonometry
This week I created a program which rotates tiles in color, axis, and speed based on functions relative to the distance from the cursor to the tile / pixel on the screen. Code available here
Assignment 1
Make A Physical Image Using Non Traditional Pixels
For this assignment I bent the rules a little bit and used the computer. My initial concept was making a mosaic with dichroic tiles. I wanted to base the image on color blind tests so I found an illustrator file which I edited so I could laser cut small dichroic tile circles. I ended up using the template as a mount and inlayed the tiles into the holes in a spiral pattern. It turned out to be quite difficult to make an exact spiral pattern by hand because of the way I set up the mount. The acrylic mount was attached to a wooden back with carpet tape and tiles were pushed into the holes. After everything was completed I was surprised to find out that the final piece acts as a pixelated mirror if you unfocus your eyes.
