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.

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.

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.

#algorithmic #art #algorithmicart #generative #generativeart #code #codeart #pattern #animation still frame, made with #Processing
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.

#algorithmic #art #algorithmicart #generative #generativeart #code #codeart #pattern #animation still frame, made with #Processing
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.

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.

#experiments in #algorithmic #pattern #animation #codeart made with #Processing
A computer-generated overall pattern of blocky glyphs seems to repeat but does not repeat -- the underlying symmetries repeat, with spatial transforms and shifts that vary the pattern. Lines appear dark indigo and umber, the background in pale straw, and islands withnn the glyphs alternate pale violet and green.

Conspiracy theories as policy in an authoritarian regime: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/01/u...
Mr. Trump's first four years in the White House were filled with false or misleading statements — according to one tally, he made 30,573 of them, or 21 a day on average — and he repeatedly shared conspiracy theories in the lead-up to the 2024 election. A New York Times analysis of thousands of Mr. Trump’s social media posts and reposts over a six-month period in 2024 found that at least 330 of them described both a false, secretive plot against Mr. Trump or the American people and a specific entity supposedly responsible for it. They included suggestions that the F.B.I. had ordered his assassination and accusations that government officials had orchestrated the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

Blocky pixels in dark blue, light tan, medium gray and blue-violet and brick red create an impression of swirling forces, perhaps magma that has crystallized into granite.

#labor #tools #tractor #housekeeping #groundskeeping #farming #Spain
In a white wall, a tan-colored blanket balled up in an open window: in the dark recesses of the room beyond the window, a bed waiting to be aired and changed. Two leaf rake and two push brooms (one with red bristles and one with blue, worn by use) lean against a garden hedge; beside them sit a dustpan and a bucket. At the top of a low hill, leaning on a slant, a man drives a tractor that rakes a recently plowed field of reddish-brown dirt.

An over-all pattern of small blocky shapes in very dark blue, blue gray, pale orange, and ivory seems, despite its right-angle geometries, to be filled with swirling regions that condense and disperse into local formations that flow into one another.

States 1 and 2 of a composition generated with my new PixelAudio library. It also produces a sound, though not one as interesting as the image.
Small blocky geometric shapes appear to swirl and bend as if in currents of wind or water seen from above. First state. Small blocky geometric shapes appear to swirl and bend as if in currents of wind or water seen from above. Seond state, simpler than the first state, with dark background shapes gone. The remaining small elements suggest a coded language.
