Editions version of my 1/1 artwork "Connections".

Utilizes the same generative algorithm but with a cream background.

About "Connections":

As I think back to the late 90s into the early 2000s, I realized one of my favorite things to do in my high school math class when I was bored was plotting random equations on my TI-83 calculator. I would spend so much time trying out different equations and seeing how they looked when plotted on the graph. I was always fascinated by the way the lines and shapes would form on the screen and how each equation produced a unique visual.

Fast forward to 2022. After having an amazing conversation with Tyler Hobbs in NYC during NFT NYC over some late-night pizza, he officially inspired me to start learning Generative Art with Processing/p5.js. I never written any code in Java script before and certainly had no training in visual art but having some background in machine learning with python at least gave me a small boost in confidence that I could learn some of the basics a bit quicker.

I still have a lifetime of learning but for my first artwork, I wanted to start by bringing that TI-83 feeling back into my life. It is called "Connections.” To create the piece, I began by plotting points on the canvas by randomizing equations with 6 variables. Each of the 6 variables had randomized numbers for each output. I set up to have the artwork iterate this 2500 times. Once I had the collection of plots, I began connecting each plot with a line from the last previous plot. I realized that by using the HSB color mode, if I randomized the hue in certain ranges but kept the saturation and brightness levels high with the black background, it produced a striking visual. I loved how even with all the randomness, certain areas on the piece would seem to cluster together creating a sense of unity and connection between the different elements.

In the end, I feel "Connections" turned out to be a beautiful and visually striking piece of generative art. I am proud of what I have created and grateful for the opportunity to explore my love of math and art in such a meaningful way.

I cannot wait to create more art!

This 1 of 1 generative work comes from a continuation in exploration with my pixel easing algorithm. The process starts with curating a still image from the animation. I then zoom in on an area within the still that’s interesting, capture it, scale it, then convert it using custom code into a format compatible with pen plotting. The plotting itself takes between 24-36 hours. Archival black ink on 300 gsm archival quality, acid-free paper. Berlin, 2024.
