honored to be a recipient of a new aesthetics grant from @patrickc & @tylercowen to explore how designing solely with code can change our relationship with the objects in our lives; my most ambitious projects coming soon
@Jesperish thank you, this means a lot
i’ve been a longtime admirer of your work, it was instrumental in inspiring me to make this account and give my own creative pursuits everything
@Padres_Farm it will be back in a few weeks, anyone who signs up for updates on https://t.co/J7XzI6aBse will receive an email when the next cycle opens
@graveair there is no distinction, both technology and nature operate within the laws of physics
code is not like DNA and trees, code is nothing but a means of converting logic into actions in the material world
find what is best through any means, nature is a well of strategies
@lkenflkbewfbewf the animations are recordings of shaders (like the attached)
the rest is all photographs of vellum sheets printed with my designs and casted silver pieces
@Elmonopunch the animations are code, mostly screen recordings of signed distance field shaders running in a browser like this
i also recently made a custom rendering pipeline to get shadows/ reflections, may post a breakdown soon
@init_malachi thank you!
the audio here is a snippet from a long session of improvising, imagining this video as i played; i then made the video based on the audio, it was a joy to draw from both sides
@r0b0t_sp1der i’m still very much learning the ropes of audio, i wanted a very metallic/vibrational sound so i recorded the piano with an iPhone laying directly on the frame; the voice was generated from a similarly tinny source, i then applied some light filters and added a hard limiter
@ligmasugma28 yes the first batch is live on https://t.co/J7XzI6aBse, & i plan to scale generative 1 of 1s indefinitely
the piano music is an iPhone recording of me improvising in A minor, i recorded it first and created this video around it
piano and code occupy the same space in my mind
@WarSageX yes but the things we make often fight reality, i want to lean in
with compute in every pocket and ubiquitous 3d printing the stage is set to make all precious things unique
@chronosensitive yes, i think pure chaos is often the wrong lens when contrasting nature with imposed order; i believe much of the beauty we enjoy comes from chaotic growth within an ordered substrate
