Allegedly the biggest improvements were in reducing the hallucination rate, but still, seeing this on the livestream was wild.

Genuary Day 24: Geometric Art. Back during Genuary 2023 I believe I attempted to create something kind of plant like and wanted an excuse to try and revisit it and make it better. This is the fruits of those efforts.

And here's a version with 1000 subdivisions. I kind of like the chaos of the ones with tons of subdivisions, but it can be a bit much

Also, for those curious, here's the reference image

Genuary Day 20: Generative Architecture. I saw this lithograph up in Santa Fe and decided to use that as a reference for this one. Not sure which I like more, but I'm leaning towards the one with the black background.

Genuary Day 19: Op Art. A day behind, but whatever. I really like Akiyoshi Kitaoka's works and wanted to try something in the same vein. Not as strong an effect as I wanted (islands are supposed to float), but it's kind of there

Personally I like to get my freak on in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane

In memory of David Lynch, here's a screenshot of one of my favorite 4chan moments.

Genuary Day 12: Subdivision. Honestly really surprised with how this came out. Essentially, I started with a seed rectangle, randomly subdivided it n-number of times, then assigned a color to each rectangle and filled with Linear A glyphs.

The artist in question is Clark Richert, and the work in question is called Aftermath. Look closely, and you can see faint dashed lines representing, you guessed it, a Penrose P3 tiling. But what's *really* interesting is what's on top

Genuary Day 11: Impossible Day. This one has a bit of a story, the short of it is that I wanted to try and replicate my favorite piece of art from my favorite artist, something that uses Penrose tilings as a base.

Genuary Day 6: landscape made out of primitive shapes. I'm a day late but whatever. 3rd photo is a Herbert Bayer painting I saw in Santa Fe that I decided to run with for this one, using a noise function to generate "terrain"

Genuary day 2: Layers. You can create an abstraction of a shipping container by drawing rectangles one-after-another, and you can layer shipping containers on top of each other.

Here's an alternate version I did. Kind of like these more.

Also, Genuary has nothing to do with Generative AI. Genuary is a Generative Art challenge, which might be thought of more as "algorithmic "art".

Basically writing programs that make art.

Doing Genuary this year, kicking things off with #genuary1, vertical or horizontal lines only. Inspiration came from a box of colored pencils
