I admire the blend Mitjanit created between art and mathematics, and their goal of modeling nature&rsquo;s appearance, motion, and sound. The interesting variations of Mitjanit&rsquo;s coded designs give off a sensual and &ldquo;vibey&rdquo; feel when you watch them on top of music, and I can definitely see them being played at festivals or concerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"AAAC (An Autonomous Agent Choreo).\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/176714277?h=4f1a86d77c&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/176714277\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/176714277\">AAAC  (An Autonomous Agent Coder)<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/spaghetticoder\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/spaghetticoder\">Spaghetti Coder<\/a> on Vimeo<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>Mitjanit uses a combination of different mathematical tools (i.e. trigonometry, calculus, matrices, etc.) with programming languages like C++, Java, Processing, and openFrameworks in order to generate these unique visuals. If Mitjanit wants to include an user interaction aspect to their artwork, they also utilize communication hardware like MIDI, OSC, or DMX protocols. I think my favorite usage of programming and media that Mitjanit used was using fractal brownian noise as texture a piece involving for geometric lines and patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mitjanit&rsquo;s artistic sensibilities can be clearly seen throughout their algorithm, the play between mathematics and physics coupled with their creative nature-centered concepts are a work of art, and a step forward in the mix between modernization and appreciation for our environment.<\/p><\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Music has always been a large aspect of my life, as my daily routine essentially revolves around it.
