The Very First

I suppose today everyone has a blog so I decided to create one as well (also, a teacher of mine made it my last assignment). After a couple of days trying to pick a name and all that stuff here it is. Hopefully, it will all go fairly well. I will try to post fairly often. As a preview, the post will likely vary greatly, but will all have a general focus. Whatever it is I will try to make it as interesting as possible, most will probably focus on different kinds of design and/or art.

Writing this kind of reminds me of working at the RIT radio station, WITR 89.7. Sitting a small enclosed space and talking to no one, most times there probably wasn't anybody listening anyways.

Finally, for my first image I am just posting my profile image and another from that series. It is piece created with code, specifically with Processing. The initial inspiration was nature. I wanted to create something that would show repetition. At first, I looked at fractals in nature, but then went into recursion. To me these images represent the ceaselessly random yet structured nature of the organisms that we can position within the category of "nature". In addition, images of outer space come to mind, this can open up a whole new range of infinite possibilities of interpretation. The colors of the circles are sampled from a photograph I took. The sectioning and color change was created by opening the file in a text editor, instinctively deleting some portions and re-saving the file. The results differ each time, from time to time producing something completely dissimilar. This final action ties into the seemingly random yet structured aspect of the code and visual result.
