Experimenting with #GenerativePhotography

https://medium.com/@joyhughes/generative-photography-1318e25bbec1

Using techniques such as #CellularAutomata ...warping and #kaleidoscope ... algorithmic compositing

My own renderer "Lux Vitae" (Living Light) written from the pixels up in C++ ... web interface under development.

Progress! I've characterized my #CellularAutomata rule family for pixel flow ... there are 2^(2^6) different possibilities! Visually I've seen stargates, cheese graters, borgs, cities, trees, and Matrix (like the flow of letters in The Matrix).

Here's one of my favorites ... I call it "City in the Stars". Follow for more #GenerativeArt - at some point the tool will be stable enough to open up to alpha users.

Discovered an interesting new #CellularAutomata rule. It started as a bug, but with a little tweaking it became the Borg Nebula.

The exciting thing is it runs on the web, and soon anyone will be able to try this and much more!

Fun with #CellularAutomata ... the rule uses a Margolis Neighborhood, a block of four pixels. Each block is rotated so that the brightest pixels are on the bottom. Then it runs again with the squares offset diagonally. #GenerativeArt #generative https://joyhughes.github.io/gravitate.html
I got a cellular automaton to do pixel sorting!
