Sometimes in graphics programming (and other things), mistakes are made. It’s always nice when these lead to interesting serendipitous discoveries, rather than just a black screen (most common), or flames coming out of the computer etc. Here are some results … Read More
Molecule descending a staircase.
I’ve been playing around a bit with doing video feedback through a kaleidoscope shader. In these images, the ‘seed’ that is fed into the feedback is simply the plain black or white background of the window. There is a single … Read More
Here are a few images I created with (virtual) video feedback. Many of these were automatically evolved based on their spatial-frequency content. Others were generated interactively, with various different interfaces. Really, this stuff is much more fun when moving, and … Read More
This piece is an early exploration of my ideas for interactive audio-visual computer art, based on dynamic systems with their own emergent complexity such that the player is not a player in the sense of an instrumentalist who has absolute control … Read More
Welcome to xinaesthetic.net. Here is an application for exploration of the parameter space of a graphics synthesiser. Your motions are followed and used to determine the fitness function of a genetic algorithm which breeds new offspring to replace those you … Read More
A little improvisation with a synth I made in Reaktor. The synthesis is “cascaded waveguide”, excited by an audio recording and controlled by midi keyboard. As such it has some acoustic-ish dynamics, twisted in a way that wouldn’t be physically … Read More
