Random Etc. Notes to self. Work, play, and the rest.

Metropop Denim

Clayton James Cubitt is "one of a new breed of photographers no longer content to draw a distinction between the worlds of fashion, art, and porn" apparently. He also has an eye for generative artwork, and my Processing experiments with attractors and particles were enticing enough for him to get in touch and ask for more. A weekend of hacking and a flurry of emails produced user-unfriendly software which would produce images at print resolution, and then I left the rest to Clayton. Witness the fruits of our collaboration in the denim issue of Metropop magazine. I'm really pleased with how it's turned out, and you should definitely check out the rest of his work if you like what you see there.

I agree stellar work. It makes software seem more like play. The code is elegantly simple, a pleasure to read. Did you mean for comment at line 10 or so to read//start with random velocityor//start with random positionThanks for sharing with the Processing community!

Hey Tom… I personally think that your work is GREAT. And I’d very much like to be able to do it myself (with my own photo-art).I don’t know… This may be a rude question (I hope not), but… Would you be willing to share the program, so I myself would be able to make such a great “particle-art” with my photos?Note that I’m asking this as a fan… not trying to be rude (:

The source code is already available on the pages with the applets. There is also an example applet with code in the Processing exhibition. You’ll need Processing to run it.
