another small thing in STRIKES: the colours don't all have the same chance of being picked. each palette has its own weights. some colours take over, others just show up here and there.

a closer look at STRIKES. all those little ridges and shadows are calculated. even the canvas texture. it's pretty incredible what you can do with JavaScript.

a small detail in STRIKES: some cubes are missing before anything hits them. the code leaves gaps and changes their sizes a bit. the order wasn't going to be perfect either.

if you want to play with STRIKES a bit, the generator is on my website. you can make new variations there, no wallet needed. curious to see what you find. medusa.contact/project.html?…

even the spheres are made of cubes. just a lot of little straight edges trying to make a curve. STRIKES

I shared STRIKES a couple of days ago. Today I want to tell you a bit more about it. Where the idea comes from, what's happening in the image and how the code turns it into paint. 1/10

The idea comes from that tension between order and chaos. In nature, but also in us. We make plans, build routines, try to hold things together. And there's always something that can move it all around. 2/10

a little more STRIKES for today. tomorrow I'll put together a thread about the idea behind it and how it's made. there's quite a bit going on under the paint.

Two weeks ago, Antoñita premiered at the Rialto theatre in Valencia. A project by dancer Irene de la Rosa that I worked on, on the music and visual side. Let me tell you a bit about it, using algorithmic art, of course.

Antoñita was born from the idea of creating a dance performance for the deaf community, where the visual side clearly had to play a part. The piece is inspired by La Singla (Antoñita), a deaf flamenco dancer whose story deserves a post of its own.

Last week, I launched this ambitious open-source initiative. Modern, and optimized alternative to 2D animation software like Toon Boom Harmony, Moho Pro, or CelAction2D. There is currently a solid, functional experimental foundation, lont-term plans. Everyone is invited to contribute! xitter.twitterapi.xyz/OpenToonOrg/status/210…
OPEN TOON is moving! Building a serious, free, optimized desktop alternative to 2D animation software. Currrent v0.2.0-experimental.15 supports drawing, layers, timing, curves, characters and composition. Contributors in code, UX, art and testing are welcome.

It's quite incredible how the future looks both impressive and boring at the same time. At least we will always have art.
