Wrote a think-piece about the current state of social media and how it's been changing lately - been thinking a lot about it, especially with the daily and drastic developments in the space 📬

The Current State of Social Media

Social media has changed significantly over the past two decades: from networks that aimed to connect people, to content-centric devices that mainly care about engagement and user retention. Many issues arise that are not immediately evident to the user.

@toxi And I also really like your suggestion for maybe having a polymorphic system for the different parts of the composition, I think it could be possible to get diverse outputs if I use different parameters for different parts, and at the same time stay true to a minimal aesthetic where everything is made out of tiny strokes.

@toxi

Thanks for the thoughtful comment!

I've spent some time studying how erosion algorithms work (I've written a bit about it here https://www.gorillasun.de/blog/eucalyptus-and-sagebrush/) - and I'd like to approach the sketch from that angle as well.

What's happening here is that the tiny strokes are distributed on top Poisson disk sampled positions and their intensities are modulated with some Perlin noise.

Maybe I could connect the positions with a triangulation and then erode that mesh in some way 🤔

Nat Sarkissian's Eucalyptus and Sagebrush

In this post we'll have a closer look at Nat Sarkissian's generative FxHash token: Eucalyptus and Sagebrush. The token seamlessly bridges between visually stunning graphics and an intricate terrain generation algorithm. Additionally there's a lot to learn on simulating brush strokes algorithmically
