embrace the random xxxvii

Carbon

Fractal lines slowly coagulate into images of solemn faces. There's something organic about how the portraits take shape, as if one is watching statues grow from pebbles planted in the dark soil.

This piece of generative art is no longer online, but it is available for purchase at Servovalve. The CD/DVD set contains many other generative artwork programs as well as a few generative music machines, including the brilliant Semuta device.

That's a fairly excellent creation. I was watching the faces go by, and the sound attracted my son who then came to watch.

He said, "It's a skeleton! No, a regular face... no, it IS a skeleton, or a face." He was quiet for a second and then yelled, "MAN EATING CLOWN!"

How's THAT for random!

Anyone who yells "man eating clown!" is awesome in my book :)
