Sillage
[si: 'ja:z] noun • French

A scent that lingers in the air; the impression made in space after something or someone has been and gone; the trace of someone's perfume.

Step into the world of Sillage, where art meets code to craft unique narratives of fleeting existence, encapsulating the concept of presence and absence in a digital realm.

The third and final installment of the Self trilogy.

Ego is defined as: the one of the three divisions of the psyche in psychoanalytic theory that serves as the organized conscious mediator between the person and reality especially by functioning both in the perception of and adaptation to reality.

Please see attached fx(text) article or go to https://ty-vek.art/self-trilogy for more on concept/mechanics/etc. It’s a bit of long read, but worth it.

This is an fx(params) project and you will be able to choose exactly what your iteration will look like. For more details on why this is a params project and how to approach that, check out the article.

All projects are written in vanilla Javascript, composed as SVG and then rendered to a 2d canvas.

There might be slight differences in rendering from browser to browser. This is expected as they might translate the SVG slightly differently. Let's call Chromium renderings canonical. They also render faster there and we love that.

Press "S" to save a PNG.
Press "V" to save a SVG. (Chromium browsers render these pretty well.)

By default, these will render at 2400 x 3200 pixels. This is at density 1.

To render at a larger resolution you can append “&d=2” to the end of the url. This will double the resolution. You can also use 3 or 4 or whatever your browser can handle. Safari tends to have problems with this, so stick with Chromium based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, etc.)

If you want to render as a square image, so it is optimized for ummm.. your pfp or something, you can append “&sq=t” to the url.

If you want to get rid of grain, just append “&g=n”

Introducing "Dislocation," a modest yet captivating generative art project inspired by the simple beauty of marbles. This artwork offers a glimpse into the world of swirling colors and intricate patterns, encouraging you to appreciate the delicate balance between chaos and order.

Please be aware that while the artwork draws itself, the visuals might trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy. If you're sensitive to such content, take care while viewing.

Welcome to 'Apertum', a project that combines simple geometric elements with the unpredictability of randomness. It starts with triangles and lines and results in a diverse array of formations.

In 'Apertum', you will find a series of transformations and reshuffles, as well as a vibrant mix of textures and patterns. These interactions give rise to intricate compositions that I hope you'll enjoy discovering.

'Apertum' is both a thank you to those who have supported my work so far and an invitation to those new to my creations. I invite you to step into the world of 'Apertum', to discover its interplay of shapes, colors, and textures.

Opuntia is the genus of plants commonly known as the "prickly pear" cactus and is a common fixture in the fauna of the Sonoran desert. This project continues in the spirit of Patchwork Saguaros in depicting the desert plants that are representative of Southwest Arizona where I grew up. 

Optunia explores the output variety in a short form generative series that can be achieved just through the play of generative textures created by layering and glitching stippled dots, all depicting the same subject matter. 

Each of the 18 tokens in the Opuntia series share the same palette and the same composition, varying solely in their use of texture and arrangement of color.

#tezpole has demonstrated to us all the importance of effective Cable Management. Intrigued by this challenge, I've delved deep into the pixels of this issue. 🙂

Drawing inspiration from Rev Dan Catt’s 'Tally!' and applying similar principles of Cable Management, I've assembled a fun and free OE project.

This project dynamically evolves with each iteration.Grid is determined by a random value calculated as follows: the lower bound starts at 3 and increases incrementally with every 100 iterations, while the upper bound starts at 4 and increases with every 30 iterations. In practical terms, as the iteration count increases, both the minimum and maximum possible number of cols&rows gradually increase.

This piece is a reflection of my passions, a blend of the visual and the auditory, and a testament to the power of interdisciplinary inspiration.

At the very core of 'Cable Management' lies the mesmerizing aura of 'Impressions of Order' by nbswwit. This piece, woven with a rich tapestry of patterns, was a visual catalyst that nudged me towards another intriguing realm: Modular Synthesizers. While many associate these intricate machines with sound, I was drawn to their visual aspect. The maze of cables, the geometric alignment of modules, the unpredictability in their assembly - all of these became pivotal visual inspirations for both the aesthetics and the very name of my piece.

My deep-seated musical background has always been a reservoir of inspiration. But with 'Cable Management', my ambition was to transcend beyond the auditory. I sought not to directly incorporate sound but to let the principles of music shape the contours of my visual artwork. And in the layered structure of the artwork, I found an echo of the captivating world of polyrhythms. Just as these rhythms, when layered, weave an enchanting harmonic tapestry, the four layers in 'Cable Management', each scaling its own grid, come together to produce a visual rhythm that is both intricate and harmonious.

An algorithm, teetering with a chaos factor between 95% to 99%, was my experiment in dancing on the fine line between predictability and serendipity. It was a revelation, showcasing that even when one thinks they've charted every course, there's always room for a delightful surprise, for a twist in the tale.

Navigating the oscillation between chaos and order has been a profound experience. The idea of staying unwaveringly committed to an initial vision, despite the whirlwind of creativity, feels like a cherished accomplishment. 

And lastly, a heartfelt dedication. Through every line of code, every algorithm tweak, she remained my rock. Alice, as you embrace another year, this piece is not just an ode to my creative journey but also a heartfelt tribute to you, my biggest supporter since the outset. This project, and every beat of my heart, is for you. <3

"Isometric Dreams" is a visionary journey into the architectural essence of the mind's deepest narratives, set for release on the winter solstice, December 21st. This project invites viewers into a labyrinth of geometric splendor, mirroring the transition from the shortest day to the longest night.

The project comprises a series of digital canvases where light and shadow play across isometric landscapes, creating a cityscape of the subconscious. The vivid hues—fiery oranges, lush greens, and icy blues—burn and glow against the stark contrasts of shadow, symbolizing the ancient duality of the solstice: darkness surrendering to light.

On this most enigmatic of nights, when shadows stretch their longest and the veil between worlds grows thin, "Isometric Dreams" offers a visual homage to the mysteries of the unseen. The stark geometry, a nod to the order within chaos, contrasts with the swirling, dream-like quality of the overlaid patterns, suggests the intricate complexities of human cognition and the ethereal nature of our dreams.

Although the artworks in this project are static, they evoke dynamic emotional and subconscious experiences. Each piece, unchanging in form, sparks a personal journey of perception and interpretation, connecting the viewer's inner world with the timeless themes of light, time, and cognition.
