A pair of my favorite jeans developed a hole in the knee. This led to me to learning about #Sashiko, a beautiful art of visible mending. This inspired me to create this plotter design.
Starting to play around with a new #PenPlotter design idea. Many ideas start out as very simple bits of code that evolve with each iteration. I thought I'd share the progression that I've done so far so you can see how the work changes. None of these have been plotted yet, they're just previewed on the screen.
𝘕𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 is a generative art program that directs a robotic pen plotter to produce layered harmonic waveforms, each built from hundreds of oscillating paint strokes.
When the program is initialized, the properties of each waveform - frequency, amplitude, and phase shift - are randomly selected, resulting in a unique structure each time the program is run. These sixteen paintings are a representative sample of the program’s output and a physical manifestation of the algorithms that power it.
