I have a somewhat meager offering for this week. I came up with another algorithm that combined circles with circular arcs by matching the slopes of the tangents, but I had difficulty implementing it. I was trying to mimic the forms of water bubbles, and it was going to look something like this:
I ended up pivoting to something simpler, an implementation of the algorithm that Golan mentioned in class, which mapped 2-d space Perlin noise to radial alteration of circles. I played a little bit with using the blobs to fill a space at different densities. Some of the different iterations looked like this:
I liked the poetry with which Laura Kim spoke about blobs, and how they saw blob-making as a form of alternative communication, a strange and novel language.
