M.J Lindow

I have been creating art since I was four, including drawing, painting, and stained glass. Now, I write computer programs to distil my artistic vision into a set of executable instructions laced with random variation.

M.J. Lindow is a generative artist from the western United States. Inspired by art from an early age, he was constantly drawing and painting. To pay for college, he designed and built stained glass windows at a local studio. While at school he became fascinated with code and its ability to multiply human capability and later worked as a data engineer and data analyst building scalable systems to improve human effectiveness. His work as a generative artist grows out of a continued desire to use code to build scalable systems that free creative potential.

Living in close proximity to the Rocky Mountains and the deserts of southern Utah, Lindow developed a lifelong love for the outdoors and is drawn to rugged and inhospitable places. He often incorporates the natural world and the landscapes he loves into his art. Fascinated by using computers to extend human ability, his work shows the hand behind the machine by adding artificial imperfections and ‘hand-drawn’ textures.

Generative artist: I design artistic systems using only code.

Desert Sun Rising

As the sun rises, the world comes alive with color, converting sand and stone into a sanctuary.

Features include color palettes, stars, and vegetation density.

One image for each day since I quit my job as a data engineer to work on art full-time. Looking out my back window each day and watching the seasons change.

Ephemera

Reflecting on fleeting things. A study of light, wildflowers, and wind.

This project is best viewed using Chrome on a computer with a modern GPU.

A special thanks to the creators of p5.js and color.js whose excellent tools helped make this project possible.

I love trying to capture the textures and colors found in nature and reproduce them with code. Lepidoptera is inspired by the species of the same name.

Features include: color palette, medium hatching count, large hatching count, noise offset, and noise level.
