Restlessness

A Monday Monday Song

I’ve been thinking lately about what I need.
There’s so much wrapped up in me.
I’m tired of being split in two.
Has the dye been caste or can
I melt into someone new?

I need to simplify find some order to this mess
but there’s no cure for my restlessness.

The taste of my life is bittersweet
like this wine-soaked rag they force on me.
I’m caught between earth and sky
I can’t connect to either.
Eloi. Eloi. Why?

I need to simplify find some order to this mess
but there’s no cure for my restlessness.

It seems I am always cleaning my temple.
I’m always cleaning house,
trying to throw the money hangers out . . .

KEEPING AI CLEAN

I love AI. Used wisely, it’s a great tool, but it is not an oracle, a guru, or a substitute for discernment.

It can help me think, reflect, question, write, simplify, and notice where I’m tangled.

It can also produce very convincing nonsense, especially when spirituality, conspiracy, certainty, and mystery get mixed together.

For me, the safeguard is that I have instructed my AI to use A Course in Miracles as the guiding thought system in our conversations.

That means the conversation is continually weighed against forgiveness, peace, kindness, clarity, humility, and the undoing of fear.

Not infallible.

Facts still need checking.

AI can be a marvellous mirror.

But we still need to be awake in front of it.

when was the last time someone #curled something from #gopher? 😬 (1995 possibly) Gopher is an early internet protocol for browsing and retrieving documents through simple text menus, kind of a predecessor to the web. It was popular in the early 1990s, then mostly got replaced by HTTP and HTML

If this is true …

“Does the thought of handling every item in your home sound daunting? I hate to say it, but if it does, that’s an indication in itself that you own too much.”

…then I most definitely own too much. Time to let go of things I don’t need or treasure.

While working on the physics engine mentioned in my last post I needed a visualization of the path they moved on to verify that the collision works right.

And this is a moment of such a path visualization.
I also thought about an interesting image by using some blur on the path or the whole image, or making the path more broken and interesting.

Thank you for following and liking my work. And a welcome to the new followers of the last days.

Created by me. No AI.

After working with many different game and physics engines I decided to work on my own physics engine and maybe extend it later for games.

During experiments and debugging, I get interesting forms and patterns, that I want to share.

Here you see circles with the connection to the closest point on the wall/line in the middle.
And I really like this pattern reminding me of a mindmap-like construct.

Did you work on something and the result was totally different or for another purpose?

Created my me. No AI.

For this creation I worked on a brush-like dot that I used for the rows.

For me it looks a little retro and like a carpet. But overall I just decided to share it here.

This and the next renders will have some colors because it's spring and the sun is shining, so I am influenced by the beautiful colors around me.

Back to generative art I created a line grid looking like a street map. I tried curves but I wanted to stick to a contrast to the other smooth creations.

For inspiration of what to try I often look into nature with these awesome structures. Plants, water forming sand but also the macro view of landscapes, mountains and clouds.

What is your favorite source of forms?

Here's a hair like structure made with a vector-flow-field added variables for example for the transparency and a circular constraint.

In the last Genuary I made this looking more like fur and I wanted to come back to it.
Also, my hair looks a little like this. ;)

In the last days I think of combining these artistic structures with a game. So maybe a character running with such a flow field behind him or transitions made with the dithering I made some time ago.

Would you play and look into such a game?

The last post is the minimalistic creation of the same code of this one.

Here I overstretched every variable but for me it is special because it shows the similarity of circle and star and waves.

What do you see? Star, circle or space?

#Downsizing is going a bit better than expected in that I am allowing myself to release years of clothing that were never worn or sentimental tshirts. I even found a "lost" pin that was on a jacket waaaay back in the closet. 💕

But, everything came to a full stop when I reached my #hockey sweater (aka #jersey) collection. Almost each are autographed & some I inherited from my brother. 😱

Now the music is in its flow, so I have time to come back to drawing and generative arts.

Today, I picked sine and cosine and combined them with some alpha values. I have many results and I will post some others of this session, too.

But here's a circle with a sine wave as the radius and this looped while changing radius and phase.

It's all coded by myself. I used mathematical functions to create this piece of art. And no AI.

#31 GLSL Shader. Alternative creation.

This is another output during the play with values of the GLSL prompt for Genuary. Just posting those alternative renders I also liked.
It could have been also a post for "It's not a bug, it's a feature".

Do you like the other creation more than this one?

#27 Lifeform.

Here's an alternative crreation for the prompt of the 27th where I made the flying bee.

It's a stochastic L-system which I overlayed multiple times to get this kind-of-realistic look. L-systems are so awesome. I will create some with 3 dimensions and leaves and blossoms. Maybe I try to implement them in Blender for a generative grass, wood or something else in nature.

Now the Genuary is over and I plan to develop a challenge for March. If you want to brainstorm about such a challenge just write me.

#31 GLSL Shader.

It's already #Gebruary but this prompt is one from #Genuary I post afterwards. But included in my overview from yesterday: https://tilde.zone/@w4v3/115990466470840614

For GLSL there is no ready-to-go noise function, so I adapted the one from the well-known "Book of Shaders" and combined it with the rectangle grid but for each rectangle a seperate mapping. And it is definitely a base I will work on. Improving GLSL Shader language is also important for game development, for water shaders, sky. But you know all that already.

Have a wonderful and creative February!

#28 No libraries, no canvas, only HTML elements.

There are many elements but because I was late with this prompt I already saw buttons and checkboxes, so I picked the slider and experimented.

And yes, I'm curious what I could do with sliders in the future - beside a slide puzzle. ;)

Done. Finished.

Genuary was again a lot of fun and it expanded my knowledge. But the most impotant fact is that is was a kind community with many comments and likes and folowing each other. So, we made it!

Thank you very much for every like, every repost and the new follower I deeply appreciate!

What is the next challenge?
Something in February? Generative Plant-uary? Or Art-ch? Let me know.

Me, I will post the alternative creations over the next days and it would be nice to stay in contact.
Have a happy coding, drawing and living in 2026.

#27 Lifeform.

With multiple layers of sine and cosine the minimalistic bee (or fly) presents herself to us. I made a plant with an L-System for this prompt, too, but I chose the cute one. The plant will be posted the next days.

Also, I try to post the not shared prompts today.

Will you continue watching for creations after the Genuary? Because I plan to share all the alternatives that were produced during this month from time to time.

#19 16x16.

A simple random pattern? Yes, but I finished all the prompts. Some fast and some needed their time.
The simplest are not the worst, but the ideas are important. Art is awesome.

Do you like art? Do you visit museums or unknown artists?

#30 Its not a bug, its a feature.

To explain to you, it's not a bug that there are two dots and an arc, it's a feature. And yes, some fun at the end of Genuary has to be included.

When I made the first monthly challenges I was stressed and focus on good results. But as soon as I lifted fun to the top leader I learned much more and developed during every challenge. Last october I learned sculpting from scratch during Sculptober. So, let us smile together today that we produced awesome creations.

What do you smile about today?

#29 Genetic evolution and mutation.

What you see in four steps is the cell division created with a metaball algorithm. You should know that my two favorites in generative art are metaballs and noise. And they are both similar because the results look like organic fluid or very soft materials.

Also, I thought to try these 4 quadrants instead of an animation because often you do not have time to watch a whole animation. But both have their existence.

#17 Wallpaper group.

With a triangular pattern the result was not as I expected, so I switched to this one and it's simple but for me at least much nicer.

Did you ever use a wallpaper with a pattern on your walls?

Me, I used strong saturated colors in a apartment many years ago and it was inspiring and also interesting that people prefered being in the rooms with warmer colors including myself. And yes, while I'm writing this line, I think of coloring the walls again, even though they are special currently.

#25 Organic Geometry.

Just one word: Shrink wrap. Oh, that's two words. I know it as a modifier in #blender3d but here I created it myself in 2D. I didn't want to code Metaballs (I did for another prompt that isn't posted yet), so I created random circles and a huge circle around that gets smaller and smaller, and the parts getting in contact with the inner circles stays at their place while the others drift more to the center.

Too complicated? Just look at it. I like the result and the forms the algorithm produced.

Do you see a fly, a lemon, a tooth, a head, ...? What do you see?
