The sticky edges were due entirely to a bug in my projection code.

Karsten Schmidt<p>Been slacking posting more art here, so time for a teensy selection of an old generative/evolutionary system from 2014 (then used for my HOLO 2 magazine guest design). Originally written in Clojure, meanwhile ported to TypeScript &amp; Zig, I've kept working on &amp; experimenting with it ever since... 1000s of screenshots and 100s of versions to sift through. Loosely based on research done by Barricelli[1] since the early 1950s, conceptually and aesthetically it sits nicely between my C-SCAPE and De/Frag and has a similarly huge design space to explore (in some versions coupled with genetic programming to evolve cell replication rules)... There's a 1500 word draft blog post from back then too, which goes into more detail and history of this approach. Maybe its time to publish that one too at last... :)</p><p>[1] <a href="https://www.tim-taylor.com/assets/docs/barricelli-suggestions-for-starting-theoretic-papers-6-6-1987.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">tim-taylor.com/assets/docs/bar</span><span class="invisible">ricelli-suggestions-for-starting-theoretic-papers-6-6-1987.pdf</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/STRATA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>STRATA</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/GenerativeArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeArt</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/Abstract" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Abstract</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/Pixel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pixel</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/Texture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Texture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/Alife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alife</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/Symbiosis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Symbiosis</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/Barricelli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Barricelli</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/CellularAutomata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CellularAutomata</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/Simulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Simulation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/NoAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoAI</span></a></p>
