Unconditional Drawing #61

Description

This project was born after a visit to the Bright Moments event workshop with Casey Reas and Zach Lieberman in Mexico City which was titled: "Conditional Drawing". During the workshop we teamed up with other participants and created drawings based on rules set by Casey & Zach. On the last exercise we created our own rules and began executing them until we finished the drawing. The drawing had 4 rules: 1. Participants take turns drawing a circle. 2. Circle should be drawn with less-dominant hand 3. Participant flips coin and draws circle on left/right side. 4. Participant decides if next circle should be larger/smaller. I decided to create this generative piece based on this exercise. My experience attending the workshop was brief and unplanned but very enriching in terms of the people I got to meet in that 3 hour span and getting to meet both instructors whose work I've had admired since I began creative coding with Processing. The variations on this piece play a bit with the what-ifs around the drawing exercise: — What if we had teamed up with less people? What if I had done the exercise by myself? ( Amount of participants ) — What if we had more or less time resulting in more or less turns drawing? ( Amount of full or partial turns to draw circles ) This piece analyzes the possibilities representing what could have happened around the same event if conditions would have been a bit different but maintaining the same set of rules. 80% of proceedings will be donated to the Processing Foundation to whom I am very thankful for all of what they've done / do / will continue to do for creatives and artists including myself.
