"Oh Captain, My Captain."

Three of my favorite tumblrs in one post, keep it up boys. :)

Dog Chase - Switcher

I saw Regolo Bizzi’s wonderful drawings on twitter, and I had to try and make them in processing. I recognized it as a version of the dog chase problem (where dogs at each corner of a square are chasing the dog to their left), but now they switch from the left dog to the right dog every 100 frames. Also made a hexagon version (6 dogs), because why not?

Finally Vihart post a video again!

Damn, yes, why wouldn’t you! Looks great!

idk, why wouldn’t I make these and post them

Beautiful! 

Double Arm

This sketch was made by rotating point 1 around a circle, rotating point 2 around point 1, and then joining a line between point 1 and point 2. In the gif point 2 is traveling in the same direction as point 1. Point 1 is traveling at 1x, and point 2 is traveling at 2x. Following the gif are some of my favorite combinations of the periods:

Rotating same direction:

1x and 1x

1x and 2x

1x and 5x

2x and 1x

2x and 5x

5x and 8x

The last image is an array of all the varieties from 1x to 9x for each point.

Verkligen en vacker skapelse!

Golden rectangle

Väldigt vackert när det är Mondrian målning som reflekteras om. Wow! Jag undrar hur en “grid” av rutor 1x1 skulle se ut efter den blivit omgjord.  Dags att uppgradera mina programeringsskills och göra egna program.. :)

Edit: Malin hade gjort ett fint program redan för detta. MEN, att rita raka stäck med mus är sådär halv lätt.. Resultat : 

When reflecting a painting in a circle, pen strokes close to the centre of the circle become thicker. Reflecting a pixel-based image would enlarge and distort some pixels.  A painting built of strokes, like a Mondrian-painting, is better suited for circle inversion.

Would like a map of the whole area, just to know for sure i’ve been to all the places :)
