Genuary 20226 Day 1: "One color, one shape."

This was a challenging one for me, since I usually use lots of color. I went with an "*" as the shape and played with transparency, size, and movement.

I posted about some of my thinking for my supporters: https://www.patreon.com/posts/146762388

Abstract art that is difficult to describe. It looks a bit like ripples of water on the coast on a stormy day.

Genuary 2026 Day 9: "Crazy Automaton"

Cellular Automaton can be pretty fun to play with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_automaton

Instead of a crazy 'rule', I decided to do something a little crazy in the image: I sampled and inverted colors in pixels according to rule 30.

Time for ! I really love the prompts each year, see https://genuary.art/prompts for the full list.

The first prompt is "One color, one shape" – here's my li'l sketch, based on the Pythagorean tiling.

White squares move around each other, creating gaps that look like black squares! But wait! Is it really the white squares that are moving? It sometimes looks as if it's the black squares!

Day 9: "Crazy automaton"

Made an explorer for "elementary cellular automata"!

By moving the mouse, you can change the Wolfram code (which defines, in bits, a table for how to compute a pixel from the previous line).

This also was the first time I've tried the language – a Lisp that compiles to Lua! has several of these niche little languages built-in! <3

As I move my mouse, a little number changes in the top left of a pixely screen. With each pattern, a different number develops.
