Unexpected paths and unpredictable color areas. Created using random rules rendered as context free Lindenmayer-System.

From a human perspective, these are NOT simple rules. From the perspective of the random generator, they are not particularly complicated.

The rules generated by a random generator can be partially seen in the editor. Their effect is not comprehensible to humans.

WORK BY EMERGING VISUAL ARTISTS FROM THE #LSYS Art Studio"

Last night..Performing Arts Night 2025 ( #PAN25 ) from Larkin Street Youth Services ( #LSYS ). I have been an instructor and mentor for visual arts since 2007 and I help create graphics for the show. I created the promo poster/design package; video projections of a blooming flower and flaming pyre.

Friday Oct 18th, 2024 was Take Two for Performing Arts Night 2024, a showcase of young performers from the Larkin Street Youth Services art program.
I've been honored to working on almost every addition of the show since conception.
I work regularly as an art instructor for the program and provided graphics/branding for the performance as well as motion graphics and image for stage projections.

Here are some samples from this year.

2023 Performing Arts Night

{{MetaTags.description}}

Currently working on animating simple Lindenmayer systems.

Only 2D and yet in black and white.

It is an attempt to mix two domain specific languages:
A) Rules from Lindenmayer systems to expand an “axiom” string multiple times.
B) Simple Lisp like expressions to steer the “turtle”in addition to the original meaning of + - F commands in Lindenmayer systems.

A combination of simple Lisp like expressions, a byte code interpreter, Lindenmayer systems and Perlin noise. Inspiriert by "The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants". A book by...

Animate a tree like Lindenmayer system.

depth = 4
stepsize = 0.1
angel = (* (/ 20.5 180) 3.14159)
ignore = +-
axiom = F
rule1 = F -> F(+ 1.1 (snoise x y (* 0.001 f)))-[-F+F+F]+[+F-F-F]
