LO: Generative Art

I admire Joshua Davis’s art piece, ‘HPsprout’, because of the vague randomness of triangles with different colors but also includes the pattern of how geometric triangles are repetitive.

This piece can somehow be described with a term, “chaos” but also can be described as geometric. It is also interesting how the mood of the piece changes depending on the number of triangles. Depending on how the artist articulates the shape of it, the audience can be allured more into the art piece. This artist loves playing with new ideas and tools. That is why he decided to #GoMakeThings and challenged himself to make something new images. Not only fundamentally thinking about those primary colors, but he also wrapped all those new transparent PNGs into some processing code to come with an infinite number of colors/layouts.

This piece n0t only includes some processing code but also requires hand-made efforts. The artist had to scan the pools of color from shredded papers to come up with natural dropped shadows and lights.
