Generative art crafted with code in p5js, using Cellular Automata for structure and texture.
A new visual haiku is being generated each time you refresh the page. Play with it live on fxhash: The Old Pond (infinite variations)
A symbol of the mind, a metaphor of the ocean. A very subjective experience. A reference to “The Old Pond” haiku by Bashō.
The tension in the generative artwork derives from the contrast between stillness and movement.
These glitchy landscapes are programmed with the aim of a powerful Notan, but each generation is a game of chance. Some are a more rare than others, but all iterations are pseudo-infinitely unique. I hope each generation tells a different story to each different collector.
Nōtan (濃淡) is a Japanese design concept involving the play and placement of light and dark elements. The underlying abstract framework upon which the structure of a painting is created.
