[Algorithm]
The project is named after the prototype of my various projects, inspired by The Delaunays' Rhythm series of paintings. The prototype generates connected concentric circle groups with a composition checker, to ensure that each output has a sufficiently balanced composition. In this project, I showcased its ability to adapt to arbitrary aspect ratios.

Each stroke is drawn by a library that builds on my previous project, Rose 1851. Every stroke could be rendered in an animated manner, in that case, the entire rendering process is as if we are witnessing how an artist creates a painting from scratch. In this project, the default setting is the fastest rendering speed, but you can also adjust the speed manually to watch how the work is drawn stroke by stroke.

[Palettes]
There are a total of 35 palettes in this project, including 27 made from my photography, others drawn from 8 paintings from the 18th to early 20th centuries.


Note: This work is GPU intensive. The live, the animation might not run on some mobile devices at the default image size. You can add “?px=1000" to the end of your edition's URL and adjust the number to manually set the size of the image.

I have a long-term photography project called “White Night”, which explores special images of trees through black and white inversion.

I attempt to generate similar images by code, and this is the start of the journey.

Made with p5js.

Controls:
- Press “f” to toggle the frame, there is my signature on the mat inside the frame.
- Press “s” to save the image displayed at that moment as a PNG file.
- Change the canvas size by adding “size” URL parameter, for example: &size=1000 (you may add this and lower the number if your device can’t render properly)


White Night Vol.1 #281

In this 100% code generated bloom project, I made many new attempts to combine photography elements into generative art.

First at all, I love the images of early wet plate collodion photography (published in 1851 by Frederick Scott Archer), so I tried to make these artworks look similar.

To have the image more photography aesthetic, depth of field is an important factor. I put lots of effort into making it fully present in these images.

Furthermore, I think these days few have an experience of darkroom processes, therefore I also tried to make an algorithm of animations to simulation the developing process that darkroom workers are obsessed with.

And finally, the most important thing, why I chose rose as the protagonist? The answer is pretty simple, because I want to present these artworks of 99 roses to my dear wife.

Made with p5.js/WebGL.

Note: the frame of the image might be different for different GPU system.

I used to create visual artworks through photography, and this is my first attempt at generative art, to try to present the pictures which couldn’t be done through photography.

Behind the animation, there are so many algorithms work together to simulate the appearance of trees through 2D drawing, like forking, changing directions, irregular contour, etc. And there is another set of algorithms to give the aesthetic look for them, like the change of branches’ color, the borders, and even the color of every single stroke of the tree’s texture is decided by a random number.

Made with p5js.

Controls:
- Press “r” or touch the screen to restart the growing, the result will be different every time.
- Press spacebar to stop/resume the growing.
- Press “f” to toggle the frame (will trigger a restart), there is my signature on the mat inside the frame.
- Press “s” to save the image displayed at that moment.

This is the second project exploring the possibilities of fictional trees. I used only two elements, the sun and the trees, to outline the whole picture.

There are 7 kinds of total number of trees (between 1 and 34 of Fibonacci series). Each generative token have one of three fork rates, giving the trees a different look. Finally, in addition to the no tint ones, there are 6 tint colors to give them different vibes.

Made with p5js.

This is a bugged version of “Rose 1851”, which creates specially petals because of a bug that existed during development.

During the journey of shooting trees, I occasionally found a special perspective: interpreting trees in the dark through black and white inversion, thus starting the entire exploration of the sister projects “Black Day” and “White Night”.
Through this technique, in the dark night, it might bloom sometimes a sketch-like texture, sometimes an artistic mood like ink painting; in daylight, it exhibits a print-like effect.
