[eu-gene] These are and are not products of thought

[John Clavin]

Hi Jim,


Really nice stuff.



With the code written in Java Script, are you planning to do anything in real time that would create the image in the users browser? Like my online Algorithmic Plaid. I tell people it creates an infinite number of Plaid patterns. (Actually I am not sure it really does that.)

These are and are not products of thought.

They are in that they are produced with a program I wrote in JavaScript
called Aleph Null.

They are not in that they were generated by Aleph Null and I did not
anticipate them. They come as a surprise to me.

Also surprising to me is their sometimes organic and also sexual quality or
associations. I wondered why they have these unintended properties.

My 'answer' is that the development and evolution of life involved related
dynamic processes of generation. The same process operates over a length of
a curve or an area to produce a simple or fundamental organic shape.

Most of these graphics are 1920x1080. Best to go fullscreen via your F11 key
or the View>Fullscreen menu option. Many of them thrive in darkness far
below the surface of consciousness; dim or turn off the lights. Many of them
are best viewed by the light of the moon. There are a total of 165 images.

You can view the captured specimens at
http://vispo.com/aleph/jim/index.htm?n=97 or you can view them in their
native interactive habitat at http://vispo.com/aleph/an.htm . However,
hunting beautiful ones requires a bit of practice. Like hunting butterflys,
beauty, or the snark. Best to follow the instructions at bottom right.
