This week, I’ve been exploring symmetries and folding. I’ve implemented a technique for folding images back on themselves in an organic way. I was going to create a quick abstract video which uses this technique, but this piece unfolded and evolved instead. I developed the graphics and music over the past few days, going back and forth with […]

I spent an evening playing with some geometry, watching alternating rows of boxes interact with each other, as I tweaked their spacing and rotations. It’s easy for me to work this out with my real-time system, and easy to come up with dozens of variations in a short amount of time. Here’s a gallery of […]

I drew these variations one night, looking for a good T-shirt design. I’m calling them “Bubble Trees” for now. What do you think they should be called?

Another nights exploration produced these images (August 26, 2013). The objects are each members of a class of branching fractals generated from a single stroke of my pen and recursively drawn. The exploration takes place in my real-time system where I draw the initial stroke, tweak the parameters, and take a snapshot of the result.

I made these one evening in my studio in 2007. They are studies on the expressiveness of branching fractals. Each “twig” is a duplicate of the larger branch that it spouts from. I created each image by drawing a freehand shape, then selecting a branching pattern and adjusting parameters, the number of nodes, and the […]

Images of Spinobifidae Spinobifidae are a class of spindly, spiny, microscopic improvised semi-imaginary multi-celled creatures. The images were created using my performance system. I draw and sculpt these in real-time using the gestures of both hands. Each gesture I draw is replicated with axial symmetry and fractal recursion. Color Here are some color images, and […]
