Inspired by my time studying the “Indigenous Framework” of knowledge in my PDP module. I didn’t like the static diagram used to represent it so I tried to make something a bit more alive.

Taken on a short hiking trail off of the old #1 highway in B.C. with my Canon Powershot A720IS. Camera was set to black and white, f/5.60, 1/40 sec, no post-processing.

Computational Expressionism #3

joshg — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 07:56:16 +0000

This piece attempts to give more expressiveness to a gesture by varying the lines drawn based on the speed of movement, as well as drawing in a geometrical pattern about the cursor which also creates a natural time-dependent variation.

The applet is available here.

Note: The above drawings are monochromatic; the current version of the applet will change hues if you rightclick. I’m not 100% satisfied just yet with combining purely random hues in the same drawing. Future experiments might attempt encoding intelligent color scheme relations (complementary, triads, or something).

Computational Expressionism #2

joshg — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 07:45:35 +0000

Experimenting this time with a combination of immediate, predictable response and more uncontrolled and unusual systematic aftereffects.

The applet is available here.

Postmortem: Quadrix prototype

The prototype itself is here:

The post-mortem writeup on why I’ve dropped development of it is at my game design notes blog. (Which I started before I rolled wordpress over to thoughtlost … yeah, it’s ridiculous, and maybe someday I’ll keep my personal blogging to a single site.)
