NoisedeckSymmetrical geometric patterns
Risto A. PajuI've been playing with a very simple approach to meandering paths. I'm not sure if I'm getting anywhere with these, but I thought I'd post some of the tests so far.
The problem with the 2D idea is that the paths will easily wander off the screen. So I thought I'd put them on a spherical surface to contain them. It turned out this isn't quite trivial, and I had to rethink what directions and turns actually mean there. It all came down to the Non-Euclidean nature of the sphere. A straight-line direction there means a great circle, but no two great circles can be parallel. So directions and positions are rather closely linked. This is in contrast to Euclidean geometry, where you can go from any point into any direction.

Karsten SchmidtIt's probably a lost cause and also too short notice, but I'm still thinking about #AlgoApril, which I proposed back in 2022, but it's an incomplete list of prompts and sadly never took off...
https://github.com/algoapril/algoapril-2022
From the readme:
Learning about & applying algorithms and data structures for generative art/design, helping to introduce participants to a wider spectrum of techniques.
Unlike other initiatives like #genuary, #codevember, #nodevember etc., all of which are predominantly using visual/conceptual prompts, the focus of the #AlgoApril initiative is on algorithmic literacy, using technical, algorithmic prompts (of course, with some [visual] references and study materials) without further prescribing how these algorithms should be used. The only aim, goal and hope is for people to creatively engage with these techniques, breaking 'em, hacking 'em and finding interesting uses to create outcomes, which could be considered artistic. Algorithmic layering is encouraged at each turn!
In some sense, this more "bottom-up" approach to creation is maybe alien to some, but the lack of explicit aesthetic or conceptual/artistic goals has the potential to produce a much wider scope of outcomes (hopefully not only visual - audio, text and other outputs are highly encouraged!). There's also hope it could be more educational, helping people to engage with a larger repertoire of fundamental algorithmic tools and then apply & mix them in their own work/practice.
Many of the topics & algorithms selected here will have a more or less known visual representation and we encourage everyone to consciously reject these clichés and make honest attempts to find creative other solutions to visualize/sonify/represent them.

In any way, I'll be following the #AlgoApril hashtag and boosting relevant outcomes to help circulation. I'm currently on a few deadlines, so not sure how much I can contribute myself, but might post some of my own prior art related to the prompts...

dorotaCDid you know your distro carries a computer #art gallery?
It's called Xscreensaver. 30 years old and still getting updates.
A nerdy mix of simulations, interactivity and scene demos. All brilliant art.
Thank you @jwz for delighting this hacker again!
I came for the galaxy simulator, and stayed for Substrate. As always, for my 2 decades of Linux. I'll have to turn Substrate into a poster.
