Stories & world views
By telling stories to each other, thoughts and concepts are formed in the listener. I’ve used audio frequencies of recorded stories to affect procedural, abstract forms. This generative artwork is completely made with code and renderered using a custom program.
This is a companion to the series “This Could Have Been Your World”, which explores communication between people and its impact on their surroundings.
Plotting thousands of lines
The abstract forms perturbed by frequency waves of recorded stories are built in SVG format. This means that the forms are resolution independent and can be scaled to any size. The SVG only consists of lines, and don’t have any solid shapes. This makes them perfect for plotters.
Generative animation
The shapes are created via code, so they can be fairly easily animated. By shifting the random sampling offsets over time, you'll get an animation that looks like a living landscape.
