Question 1A: Fried eggs exhibit effective complexity, and I believe they sit in the middle of total order and total randomness. They have orders in the way they are cooked–“removed from their shells and placed into a frying pan and fry with minimal accompaniment” (from Wikipedia)–but the shape of each fried egg has certain randomness.

Question 1B: I believe the authorship of digital generative artworks belongs to humans. From what I see in digital generative artworks, it is humans who write the original code and make the final decision on the result generated by machines. Computers and other machines are only tools used by human artists. Besides, assigning authorship to machines will lead to legal issues when it comes to copyright protection.

I didn’t have much time to create this piece, so it is just a simple clock that presents the time we are familiar with.

The shape in the center represents the hour, the position of the circle around represents the minute, and the number of smaller circles represents seconds. The color of the background changes throughout the day to match the color of the sky.

I feel like I succeeded in making the snowman move smoothly with a rhythm that is not linear, but I just found out that the snowflakes seem to have a “hiccup”. I didn’t notice it when viewed in OpenProcessing. I’ll try to fix it when I have time. 😉

–Fixed!
