Differential Threads #51

Description

Cracks, whales, butterflies, ghosts, birds. A person leaning forward and a couple of raindrops. I’ve seen many familiar shapes while working on ‘Differential Threads’. Now I think of them as a sort of sketchpad for future series, snapshots from a journey in search of elusive shapes and new textures, bound together by a fine thread of open ended experimentation. By creating an array of coordinates based on a few rules and constrained by width and height, each pair of points gets subdivided, smoothed and then turned into a drawing path. The texture is achieved by repeating and offsetting multiple lines drawn across the surface and following random x and y axis. pressing [s] saves a png in current resolution [2] changes resolution to 4800x4800px [3] 7200x7200px [4] 9600x9600px [5] 12000x12000px [6] 14400x14400px [1] reverts to original size 2400x2400px ‘Differential Threads’ was written in plain js, based on sketches that I did while taking [notochord.xyz](http://notochord.xyz) classes on generative design and agent simulations. Some of the concepts were inspired by Matt Perkin’s (@nudoru) write up on “creating interesting paths” and Tyler Hobb’s essay on generative brushes. It may take some prolonged time to perform the drawing at high resolutions It loads a little faster in Chrome but was tested on Safari and Firefox.
