#genuary #genuary10 #ludus: The only number allowed in code is tau (twice pi). Main thought: is it cheating to derive other numbers from tau? Also: playing with organic shapes, using a technique one of my students developed in our Computer Class summer institute.

90s vibes, I think.

#genuary #genuary8 #ludus: ONE MILLION SOMETHINGS.

Today's low-effort, because it's a busy day and because I needed something I know would be good enough the first run, because Ludus is oh so very slow.

Main thought: maybe I can make aerial perspective with turtle graphics?

#genuary #genuary5: isometric art (no vanishing points).

Main thoughts: deleting random features worked great with the first cubes, let's try deleting faces this time.

#genuary #genuary4: black on black.

Main thoughts: I'm not goth enough for this. Also, working with James Clayson's Visual Modeling with Logo from 1988, so I used his spirograph techniques.

#genuary #genuary2: Layers upon layers.

Main thoughts: let's fuck up some moire patterns. Also, the cover of Jameson's Political Unconscious.

#genuary #genuary1: Horizontal and vertical lines only.

Main thoughts: diagonals with only right angles; negative space.

Really, Microsoft? In the age of Copilot, you've memory-holed Clippy this hard?
