This is my first Generative Art design on using the white polypropylene I used for the NHS Shields. (I am using wastage).
It is called “Mummy and Daughter”.
I have always been interested in Generative Art, my latest project on the Zen sand frame is another reminder that I like modern designs and technology blended together. I have been following (on and off) “Inconvergent” as I like his approach and the fact that he published his work on github as well. I also like matt pearson book, Generative Art which gives practical algorithms and code examples to some very nice art. I also like organic and repeating patterns often with subtle changes that fool the eyes of most people. Some particular pattern becomes invisible to most and only the creator knows that there is either imperfections or on-purpose changes.
Although it is possible to design these patterns with hand tools, or even with the illustration software in a very repetitive fashion, I am more interested in creating the design by coding the underlying algorithm required to get to the final product. Recently because I have improved my Python skills, I feel like I am getting closer to programming more Generative Art things. The Sand Zen project might help me learn some new skills. In the meantime, I would like to reproduce more of the art below using my laser cutter and the wasted polypropylene purchased for the NHS shields.
Here is an example of something I am working on at the moment to replace the virus simulator with a rotating set of Generative Art. This one is inspired by the sea and surfing.
