Byte City Nights – A Bitwise Cityscape Generator

My final generative work for the fxhash beta is an abstract cityscape built with bitwise operators. This 256 piece set demonstrates several different ways of producing interesting patterns with simple math operations. There are 7 different possible operators it may choose for the sky and buildings to produce wildly different results.

I also experimented with a long 2:1 aspect ratio and a neon glow behind the piece when viewed in live mode. When displaying this piece as a large scale print, I recommend placing a led light strip behind the frame to recreate the effect.

This piece was adapted from my short tutorial that teaches how you can recreate something similar in only 10 minutes..

Final Thoughts

It’s hard to believe but the fxhash beta has ended. Over the past 3 months I’ve released some of the best artwork of my life. I have a feeling it is only going to get better. Follow me on twitter for updates on all my latest stuff. Thank you for reading, take care of each other, and have a great week.
