Argosy Pattern 197a (2025)
.
#fractal #geometry #intermedia #algorithmic #art #algorithmicart #generative #generativeart #code #codeart #pattern #evolving #process made with #PixelAudio library for #Processing
A fractal maze of organic shapes composed of geometric tiles. Within each different shape, modular blocks in complementary colors identical in brightness blend together. The colors are muted because of their complementarity, but often intense in their saturated color. There is a armature of logic and chance underlying this image, but it's elusive.

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.

He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.

Release the transcript.

Signs at #NoKings rally, #Chicago.
Cardboard cut out cartoon image of T as a baby in diapers. Demonstrators holding signs and a dumpy orange piñata. One sign says, "El pueblo unido jamás será vencido." The other says, "ICE escucha, estamos en la lucha! ICE escucha, el pueblo no se asusta." A sign with a sculpted spine glued at the top, and the words "Congress and Sup. Court spineless since 2017"

From @talkingpointsmemo.com web page, another lie exposed. Undocumented immigrants do not receive govt healthcare. Also, they commit fewer crimes than the citizenry of the U.S. and evidence suggests their presence in the U.S. labor market is a plus. Truth is the first victim of authoritarianism.

I am convinced that the first violence, from which others spring, is violence towards truth. Even admitting the fallibility of witness, the biologically built-in erosion of memory, the errors a love of stories imposes on our species—even within the cloud of uncertainty my humanity imposes upon me—

On a background that at first appears a uniform gray color, but that reveals itself upon sustained looking to be desaturated shades of red, yellow, green and blue, bright rectangular flecks of color float, in deep blue, pink, and school bus yellow.

#algorithmic #art #algorithmicart #creativecode #codeart #pattern #evolving #process made with #Processing
A maze of pixelated markings that looks both like a map and like a document in an unknown language or code. Dark blue, nearly black glyphs dominate. They are linked by ovals in clear earth tones that float over a warm background with pastel blue "lakes", all sprinkled with bright yellow square flecks.

On a background the color of unbleached newspaper connected blocky blobs of lichen green and basalt blue-black swirl as if caught in eddies. They might be words written in a feral language.

Created with software that I wrote, including the new PixelAudio library for #Processing: #digital #algorithmic #art #creativecode #codeart #patterns #fractals
Small, brightly colored squares float over a background of large, staircase-edged, interlaced shapes in four colors: midnight blue, denim blue, slate, and straw. Symmetries abound, but are hidden along intricate fractal paths.

Whirling geometric net patterns in red, blue, ocher and bone. A regular geometric grid lurks underneath, and within that, a fractal geometry of constant twists and turns. A vertical pattern composed of square pixels, its right angle grid offset by diagonal alleys created by clusters of similar shapes. If you look long enough, it seems to move as the underlying fractal geometry emerges.

An image whose base material is generated with my PixelAudio library for Processing. I add colors to shapes in the generated image.
In the background, a sort of twisty 2D labyrinth, with thin dark walls and dark gray halls—five "windows" open within it to show paler color patterns, like a landscape glimpsed through storm clouds. Floating above, smaller geometric shapes in bright colors, including two acid yellow four-pointed whirling stars, mirror images of each other.

A labyrinth of interlocking diagonal elements, with small flecks of bright color studding the larger lines. Pairs of colors blend to gray, but all elements are chromatic.

Over a pale blue background, pale bands of color fill pixelated fractal shapes. Dark blue shapes—perhaps writing in an unknown language?—float upon the background, punctuated by smaller, blocky flecks of bright red.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

A complex pattern of blocky shapes in dark blue, medium blue-gray and light straw color with flecks of red-orange, saffron and deep blue appears to swirl as its underlying symmetries emerge.
