42 bits of Starlight

42 bits of Starlight is a series of 42 artworks celebrating light, color, space, randomness and chance. It's also meant to be a statement against today's self-obsession.

Technically it has a slight reference to Pixel art as I was using 7x7 and 5x5 pixel sized squares for drawing. Unlike in Pixel art I did not limit the color spectrum and made extensive use of color gradients. The varying patterns occur due to the interference of emerging lines, crossing each other at different angles.

Closure of the Ball Pit

Closure of the Ball Pit is a series of 100 lightly curated Artworks of which I selected 20 that I liked the most. It's an exercise in finding a balance between order and chaos, contrast and blur, light and shadow.

I have been experimenting with regular and irregular grids and different coloring techniques. For the circles hatching I used different approaches of even and uneven distances between lines and angles derived from Worley noise.

Unplugged

Painting with vectors is always fun, just a few points spread over the screen that follow a set of rules and form some lines and curves. The algorithm is using Voronoi Noise with some Perlin Noise applied and does some carefully crafted mapping of the noise scale. In some cases appr. 30% of the vector angles get rounded to either multiples of PI / 2 or PI / 4, which gives it a slightly edgy style. The spines come from a Convex Hull of a set of points that is used for drawing.

Antagonist

I've been working with pendulums for a while back in 2023 and revisited my program code for this series. The physics of pendulums are generating a wide set of different traces and shapes. Their oscillation under different conditions like gravitation, mass and air resistance were recorded by using Chaikin curves. Different colors stand for different weights of an individual pendulum.
