Today: compound leaves in Polypaths.
A fern frond is a stem with N smaller leaves — each one able to be any shape, each curling on its own three axes.
The shape library that drives my single-leaf page now drives every leaflet on every frond. Every parameter recurses.
I used to think structures like this needed a different engine. Turns out it's just one slider deeper. #p5js
Working with @noonautics / @alieninsect to build an automated system that converts any written DMT experience report into a fully fledged animated replication at the click of a button. It's working better than I expected. 🫠
A man is on a smoke break at work, we are watching him, he is watching the time. After all, five o’ clock can’t come soon enough. He will finish his cigarette and turn around and go inside, we will catch the door, wait ten seconds and go inside as well. As he’s going home, we will be going to work.
It’s rush hour in New York and that is perfect, we become nothing, specks in the sea of chaos, playing our part in the universal dance. Nobody sees us, because nobody looks up, everybody has somewhere to be, and I suppose we’re no different.
More than any other shot, I’ve been asked what I was thinking in the moment of taking this self-portrait and the answer is absolutely nothing. It was pure presence. The wind was picking up and a storm was coming, sirens and horns blended into the cacophony on the streets below, but inside, there was the same silence that drew me to the work five years prior.
Two months later, we’d do it all again, this time, arriving as an enormous storm passed, a double rainbow sprawling across the sky as we stepped onto the roof. We didn’t waste time, everybody climbed in succession and I shot and filmed. We were, once again, specks in the sea of existence, playing our small part in that orchestrated dance we know locally as New York City, but beyond, the world.
