computer.art was sponsored by the wonderful Sprout Social, February 11th. This time we used the concept of dreams to help inspire people to show off projects related to it! The turnout was wonderful, and I'm always impressed by what people present :D There was a range of different creative mediums people expressed their code in: visual, audio, and interactive. Please review computer.art's code of conduct if you plan to attend.
Artists
Artist: Jim Plaxco
Project: Noise Reconstruction of Nighthawks
The noise reconstruction of Edward Hopper's Nighthawks uses a Perlin noise particle system to build the painting using Processing.
Artist: Dubi Kaufmann
Project: Instagram Playground
Dubi revealed some awesome Instagram effects using Spark AR. The first project involved a user tilting their head to rotate an object to mimic the rotation of an oncoming shape! Another project was a roulette for blood types, probably a perfect game for vampires!
Artist: Ryan McGill
Project: Letter Potato
Ryan created a fun game, Letter Potato, that users would arrange a collection of characters into the longest valid word possible: 'hirtjsdt' => 'thirst'. The project leveraged AWS Lambda to manage the game's back end.
Artist: Austin Andrews
Project: Gif Animator
The process used to make Material Design Icon gifs automatically was far less code than expected and way interesting! Check out the post here, NodeJS SVG to Animated Gif.
Artist: Eric J Nesser
Project: Animation Effects
Eric's been extremely focused on particle systems in Blender, and specifically FLIPS Fluids. The viscosity effects and fracture modifier support are extremely cool, check out the library!
Artist: Jake Albaugh
Project: Arpeggiator
Jake's been working on various musical projects with JavaScript and tone.js but the latest involves a board for creating music! Here's a clip of Jake showing it off on Twitter.
Artist: Arianna Rudawski
Project: Shaders
Arianna gave a presentation on how she creates shaders in C++, and teaching everyone about pixel manipulation. The talk covered how shifting pixel values like the red values allow an engineer to do pixel manipulation.
Artist: Brian Montana
Project: Cool Cry
Cool Cry is a JavaScript canvas particle system using a cool cry image.
Thanks!
