This is an audio-reactive algorithmic visual art piece that uses the concept of charged particles and flocking to simulate a organism that is alive and composed of micro-organisms. The movement is rather pleasing thus I decided to exhibit the algorithm in a rather catchy video art fashion. Enjoy.

  • thats so beautiful!! ...resonating with seeing it breathing, spinning, fading out from existence and bouncing back to coherence... "Poetic network animation" ~Morten N., thanks for posting it!
    Did you made it Reza? Deep appreciative bows!

    This is really great! With the music included, this looks very much like a clip for a Warp Records artist. This is math as art, math as emotion! Great!

    processing.org and openprocessing is a good start to figuring out the technologies involved.

    I really like the progression, breaking apart, shifting, undulating and then reforming again, generative yet linear at the same time - badass!

    hi Reza, is it open-source? brilliant look and feel & i think part with destruction & re-construction of organism is veeery interesting. can you please briefly explain the algorythm?
  • Reza plus 1 year ago
    Hi Miki,

    The code has drastically changed since this project, so it was a piece that is now lost. However, the algorithm uses electrostatic charges to define each particle's physical motion. Then the particles are give simple behaviors to keep them on a sphere and flock with each other. Then their physical parameter's are modified in real-time to showcase different emergent visual outcomes.

    That thing breathes. Which is, I think, the best compliment you could give code :) Great stuff!
