It was twenty years ago today
Sam L Jackson fought the snakes in air
They've been going in and out of memes
Guess they're funny if you're in your teens
So may I just remind you of
The act you've known for all these years
Monty Python's "Hovercraft full of eels".

I'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.

More wriggling motions in the plasma-globe-inspired demo. I also added periodic resets to further mess things up.

It's been quiet on the demo front as my musician side has recently taken over. This slow return to musicianship started last summer, with the new twist of using the Karelian language. I've also put some of my old and new demos to work for the music videos. Here's the latest piece by me and Noira, you'll find a couple more on the same Salixvelox channel:

I use fountain pens in a pen plotter. So video reviews of fountain pens online don't address the things I am interested in. I don't care about how the pen looks, or how it feels in the hand, or that there's a smile engraved on the nib. #algorist #penplotter

And not even paths between dots as in nodes and paths in graph theory, but literally paths that can fill the space between the dots. Which flips the idea of halftones on its head a bit. #algorist #1penup

Pen plotting is more akin to digital manufacture, which does not pixelize but rather follow tool paths. In my way of thinking, vector-based representation of (photographic) images isn't about breaking it down to dots, but finding the paths *between* dots. #algorist
