Pendulums, gravity, sound. Built with my own tools.

Every dot here moves in a straight line. Nothing rotates. Yet the circle rolls 👀 (Tusi couple, 1247) 🎧

buds made of buds: the 137.5° spiral, drawn like a romanesco. zoom in and the same pattern is inside

light bouncing in a coffee cup draws the times table: x2 from a light on the rim, x3 from the sun. that bright curve in your coffee is x3

@kurukuru_kuroha やばい、夢の国。どこの通貨つかえますか？

harmonograph 07: one line drawn by two pendulums, then all 60 gaps fill with colour like stained glass

sunlight glittering on dark water. every note is a drop, and the rings carry the light out across the surface. it ends with the water going still and one last drop

harmonograph 05: a third, faster pendulum turning the other way sharpens the petals into a six pointed star with a ring of light at its centre

the times-table string figure on a five pointed star. the threads cut across the points and draw a pentagon around it

@crawlyspider Thanks! The golden angle does a lot of quiet work.

the sunflower rule again, 137.5 degrees per step, but every seed is a petal pointing outward. it comes out as a dahlia

mary had a little lamb in wine glasses. only four notes, so only four water levels, and a finger plays it back at the end

harmonograph 04: two pendulums draw a four bladed pinwheel while gusts of wind spin the whole drawing, ending in one big whirl

[renon @renon_loop]

five lines wander with no plan, each seen in twelve mirrors, and the circle fills into a mandala
#satisfying #generativeart

[renon @renon_loop]

@crawlyspider thank you! the 4:3 ratio is what carves the seven petals.

[renon @renon_loop]

harmonograph 02: the same two circular pendulums, now turning four and three times. seven petals that wind into the middle, a chord every time the pen passes the centre

a gorilla throws coconuts at 32 bananas. every hit is the next note of frere jacques, every banana becomes eight pixels of a 16 by 16 picture, and the picture is one big banana

the times-table string figure with 900 points and hairline threads. one thread is nearly invisible, nine hundred are light

[renon @renon_loop]

seeds placed one at a time, each 137.5 degrees from the last. the sunflower spirals appear by themselves, and half a degree off they wind into arms

ode to joy, poured into wine glasses one note at a time. the levels trace the melody, and a finger plays it back at the end
#satisfying #physics

[renon @renon_loop]

a harmonograph: one pen, two circular pendulums slightly out of tune. five petals that slowly turn and wind into the middle, and a chord every time the pen passes the centre
#satisfying #generativeart

[renon @renon_loop]

a string figure that keeps every layer: x2 to x9 drawn on top of each other in eight colours until it is a mandala
