For my final processing project I found a sketch that I really admired, and changed it around a little bit. I changed the parameters of the recursions, changed the colors around, and added a saveframe() to it. I then played around with the sketch for awhile collecting the frames and then I picked my favourite one. I then proceeded to transfer it onto canvas, which is my actual project.
Programming art is one of my favourite things, because there is so much that can be done with it. There’s always something magical about putting a bunch of code together, or screwing around with somebody else’s, and then pressing the play button and seeing something visual come to life. To me, the next step would be for it to become even more tangible, even more alive. This is why I decided to paint the output of the sketch. Step by step, I messed around with the code, then messed around with the paints. Eventually my goal is to take this project further and make it even more tangible. Perhaps in the form of a physical computing project.
This is my version of the sketch:
(Hold left click and drag horizontally to create recursions. Hold the right click and drag vertically to change the angles of the lines)
Patterns
And below is a small gallery of the other images that were output using the saveframe function, as well as some images of the painting.

Hey there, just found you’d found my applet =] (incidentally through googling my own name XD funny how these things work) – love what you’ve done with it
had been meaning to do something similar with recording the x and y values, but your screen print is better….
and AWESOME that you’re doing one on canvas =D really pleased to be of use XD
Good luck with your endeavours :p
