Looking Outward – 06

Tyler Hobbs is a visual artist who develops and works with algorithms and plotters. Hobbs’ style represents the stiff structure of a computer and the messy chaos of nature, striking an interesting balance in his work. He created “Fidenza” which is a generative algorithm that creates random, generative art. He describes the algorithm as “highly flexible”, and it continuously produces interesting results. It was so fun to scroll through all the artwork produced by the same algorithm as they all go very different directions, yet hold similar underlying charcteristics. “Fidenza” is a flow field algorithm that creates random, organic curves. With these curves, Hobbs shares that there is variety in scale, turbulence, stroke style, shape segments, sharp edges, sprials, collision, margins, and color which leads to infite possibilties of “Fidenza”. In color palettes alone, there are 14 possible color palettes that each have different probabilities for the colors being used.
