For this project, I wanted to control the motion of the paint brush(where the points go). I thought of the motion of fireworks and decided to go with that. A firework would be made each time the user clicks on the screen. To make the drawing process easier, I made the balls bounce off the four edges of the canvas.

    jisoo = loadImage(geum);
}

function setup() {
    createCanvas(800, 700);
    background(100); 
    jisoo.loadPixels(); //load up colors of the pixels from the photo
    frameRate(1000);
}

function draw() {
    var px = random(width);
    var py = random(height);
    var ix = constrain(floor(px), 0, width-1);
    var iy = constrain(floor(py), 0, height-1);
    var coLoc = jisoo.get(ix, iy); 

    stroke(coLoc); 
    noFill();
    ellipse(px, py, random(6, 20), random(6, 15)); //each ellipses are somewhat random to create
    //different image with a similar style

}

Using the sample code, I altered how the canvas would fill up. By using ellipses with no fill, I was able to create a sketchy yet vague paint style. By adding a random element to the code, I am able to create different results with the same style.

        x + 3, y + 15/2 + 2);
    //top middle
    triangle(x - 3, y - 15/2 - 2, x , y - 15/2 - 5,
        x + 3, y - 15/2 - 2);
    //left middle

    triangle(x + 15/2 + 2, y - 3, x + 15/2 + 5, y,
        x + 15/2 + 2, y + 3);
}

Since the original photo had a lot of sunlight and light glares in it, I wanted to use a sun to help draw the image. In order to give it a little bit more dimension, I varied the transparency of the sun depending on the position of the mouse. I feel like the varying transparency also added a really nice softness ad warmth to the image, just like golden hour sunlight. I really like pointillism as an art style, so it was fun to try and re-create it for a self-portrait.

The Process:


Here’s the original:

Project- 09- ssontag

Cross Hairs

var baseImage;

//pre load my underlying image
function preload() {
    var imgurLink = "https://i.imgur.com/jjMBr8v.jpg";
    baseImage = loadImage(imgurLink);
}

function setup() {
    createCanvas(480, 480);
    background(0);
//load the pixels of the image so they can be referenced later
    baseImage.loadPixels();
    frameRate(15);
}

function draw() {

//randomly select a pixel on the canvas
    var px = random(width);
    var py = random(height);
    var ix = constrain(floor(px), 0, width-1);
    var iy = constrain(floor(py), 0, height-1);
//loads the color from the base image so the cross hairs coordinate with the colors of the base image
    var theColorAtLocationXY = baseImage.get(ix, iy);
//randomly generate points for the lines to make cross hairs
    var rX = random(1,8);
    var rY = random(1,8);

    noStroke();
    fill(theColorAtLocationXY);
    stroke(theColorAtLocationXY);

//create cross hairs
    line(px, py, px + rX, py + rX);
    line(px + rY, py, px + rX - rY, py + rX);

}

For this Project I decided I did not want to make shapes like ellipses or rectangles, but I wanted to use line work. Instead of just randomly placed lines I decided to make randomly generated cross hairs to add another layer to the sketch.

var underlyingImage;

function preload() {
    var myImageURL = "https://i.imgur.com/Q9MzvBG.jpg";
    underlyingImage = loadImage(myImageURL);

function setup() {
    createCanvas(400, 480);

    var lineStartY2 = random(height);
    var ix = constrain(floor(lineStartX), 0, width-1);

    var theColorAtLocationXY = underlyingImage.get(ix, iy);

    line(lineStartX2, lineStartY2, lineStartX2 + 20, lineStartY2 - 20);

}

I wanted to do something with lines, so I started by just making the line from one random point to another. The problem was it was only using the color from the starting point, so it just made this big blob with no actual portrait. So I shortened the distance of the lines so that the colors wouldn’t stray from their rightful spots too much.

svitoora – 09 Looking Outward

“Our Time” is a piece commissioned by the MONA (Museum of Old and New Art) which was intended to take you on an ethereal sensory journey, warping the way you view and think of time.”

I agree that “the amount of effort put into immersion in this is remarkable, and the piece utilizes our most basic senses to warp our perceptions of human constructs”. Although the code is simply an analog input of a person heartbeat being actuated by the motors of pendulums and the lights, the immersion effect created by the multitude of lights ad movement overwhelms our sense of time and space, thereby transporting us to a whole different state of existence. As somebody who is personally interested in physical computing, I deeply admire this project because it takes computing away from the digital screen and into the physical realm, thereby blurring the line between physical and digital environments. Although the algorithms itself is not sophisticated or complex, the whole of the artwork is greater than the sum of its mechanical and digital parts. If possible, I would love to experiment more with writing code on a physical level.

I decided to do a self-portrait image background of me smiling into the camera. I then thought of an idea to use faces for the custom pixels, to make up a bigger picture of a smiling face.

Portrait

I was experiencing some dark times in my life, therefore I decided to make a dark portrait. I was inspired by the algorithmic portrait.

I tried to replicate the portrait above, but sadly I couldn’t do in time. Since my portrait is a bit computationally heavy, here is a still image of it:

I choose one of the photos from a last year trip to japan. It was fun and interesting trip. So I wanted to make this pixel loading image to be shine as the memory.
Here are some images of portrait.
