ge(o)m4

Wed, 23 Jan 2008 01:00:00 GMT

ge(o)m4 manipulates an array of dots on the screen according to the periodic values of the sine, cosine and tangent functions. the combination of a single sine and cosine function mapped to the vertical and horizontal positions of the dots will produce a simple circle with the proper period. here, multiple functions are added together to acheive the complexity of the shapes seen. the x and y position of the mouse affects the period of two of the functions in some of the versions.

garden

Wed, 28 Nov 2007 01:00:00 GMT

garden generates 'flowers' based on the distribution patterns of the succulent ornamental plant known as "hens and chicks" (image). placement is both random and determined. flowers do not overlap, and placement and size are calculated so that smaller flowers fill in the unoccupied space. version 1 and 2 take input from the x position of the mouse that adjusts the width of the 'pedals.'

flyingShuttle

flyingShuttle generates a number of "X" shapes around the circumfrence of a circle. The shapes travel around the circumfrence at varying rates according to the order of their placement. The horizontal mouse position changes the rate and direction of travel.

phaSing2

Mon, 17 Sep 2007 18:07:11 GMT

phaSing2 constructs a grid of points and generates a second set of points which each orbit around each point on the grid at varying rates dependent upon the order of their placement. The radius of each orbit is shifted according to the horizontal position of the mouse. Lines or circles of different colors are drawn between the orbiting points based on the changing distances between them.

ge(o)m2

Mon, 17 Sep 2007 18:07:01 GMT

ge(o)m2 distributes a number of points at increasing distances from the center with orbits whose speed increases based on their distance from the center. Lines of different colors are drawn between the points based on the changing distances between them. In .v1, the speed of orbit is multiplied by the horizontal position of the mouse, and the distance of the points from the center changes with the vertical position.

ge(o)m

Mon, 17 Sep 2007 18:07:01 GMT

ge(o)m distributes the midpoints of a number of Lines of equal length around the circumference of a circle. When activated, the lines are rotated at differing rates according to the order of their placement. Note: A bonus effect can be achieved with .v1 by maintaining a loose focus on the center of the structure for a number of minutes, then looking away at a distant object.

phaSing

Mon, 17 Sep 2007 18:07:01 GMT

phaSing generates a number of circles of a limited range of random colors into a grid arrangement. Circles are stretched vertically and horizontally according to the position of the mouse. When activated, the circles are rotated at differing rates according to their placement in the grid.

rttr

Mon, 17 Sep 2007 18:07:01 GMT

rt,tr takes a graphic and generates a number of copies with a range of transparency. When activated, these copies are rotated are rotated at differing rates. Movement of the mouse shifts the graphic and its copies while the axis of rotation remains stationary.

OptiVAL

Mon, 17 Sep 2007 18:07:01 GMT

OptiVAL generates a number of ovals in the center of the screen. Each oval is stretched and displaced differently according to the position of the mouse.
