Killed By A Pixel

My first generative art project with customizable parameters explores a glitchy circle packing algorithm with a hand drawn aesthetic. It being featured at the Proof of X art exhibition in Tokyo Japan!

Visitors of the exhibition can mint the piece live and personalize their result by adjusting parameters to control color and style. It’s fun to seeing what other people come up with.

Everything was created in vanilla JavaScript, no external libraries used. I first posted a work in progress for this piece almost a year ago in last September! After sitting in my unfinished folder for almost a year, it feels so good to put this one out into the world!

My latest generative work explores space landscapes and dithering effects to generate retro style sci-fi posters. It’s also a spiritual successor to one of my most popular fxhash releases “Dithered Branches” from over 6 months ago! In this post I will talk about the concept and features including some of my favorite results. You can see all 300 iterations on fxhash.

My first plottable generative art work is now available on fxhash. It is based on the same algorithm used by “Chaospill” that I released a few months ago. Since I purchased a pen plotter, I have been working on converting the algorithm for plotting.

My goal was to produce a result that plots fast and efficiently while demonstrating the complexity of the algorithm and the many possible variations. I have been playing with this algorithm all year and this captures the most interesting results I saw. The JavaScript code is now open source on GitHub for others to learn from, including my tiny SVG library.

While working on this piece I asked Dan Catt, one of the best plotters I know, to help by testing a plot with his setup. The result is beyond amazing and he was kind enough to produce this short video about the process…
