Alpha stages of my Living Brushes program. Brushes of varying influence allow a user to create expressive visuals augmented by the creativity of an emergent system of brushes. This will be an installation soon that will allow the user to paint with brushes that have a simple swarm intelligence to them. Interaction is done with […]

This is a really rewarding project I’m working on that has awesome potential. Flocking behaviors and interaction with a Kinect make for some really fast and beautiful artistic effects.

These are samples from a project I’m working on for a class called Metacreation. The system runs off a webcam and uses multi agent swarms to draw what it sees. There are many settings for the swarm: flocking behaviors, attraction, repulsion, tracking user motion, in addition to many brush settings. These are just a few […]
