Contact sheet for work 00098 106 geometric patterns from 2015-04-09 via the FF oneMillionAlphas filter

In the spirit of the filter they are based on (public), I release these works into the Public Domain, also because the potential maths are built into the filter (read on) and I only discovered them. Huge resolution renders are at a gallery you may find via this URL (or this one for so long as it isn't a ghost), and here is a link to an archive of the vector (svg format) sources for these works (you may have to right-click and then click "save target as.." or summat.)

At some outposts I erroneously stated that these were produced via a Batch Wrapper I wrote for Filter Forge. No, these were hand-picked and randomized by mucking with the oneMillionAlphas filter. (At this writing, my wrapper cannot randomize any variable in a filter, though I would like it to. And if you're curious about it, you may find said wrapper here.)

Work 00091 abstact line art black and white

I made black and white vector art of a doodle and did random color fills of the blank areas from a palette. I automated this with bash scripts and CLI utilities on Windows+MSYS2.

I also strung many of these images together in an animation mostly sorted by next most similar image (also with scripts).

What does this make you think of / feel / postmodern / angst / ruminate / ritualize? If you do not know, the COMPUTER-GENERATED POSTMODERN "ARTIST STATEMENT" DRAWING HAT can tell you!

I think it's a happy coincidence that my first run of the random color fill script produced grass-like color below and sky-like color above.

I've changed the name of this since after I gave up numbering works (cataloguing them is a technical feat that got away from me), and starting naming some works that I have no better name for by date. This was originally named and titled Work 00091 [+some description about abstract line art with random color fills]. Later, in syndicated media posts I renamed it 2016-11-24, which date is an error. My files named by date for this are 2017-01-13 (with redevelopment later in 2021). Blahuarg.

I think this randomly generated statement works as well as many other Artist Statements you may have read!–

Works utilize this medium today. A concrete form with various organisations, including the work /Black Out/, in which imagination, dreams, and death are largely intuitive: preferring that the settlers went on to study sociocultural trends in photography, media and intellectual creativity in masterpieces of probably the most loved French post-impressionist masters.

Raster black and white variant for color fills in e.g. paint, photoshop–I actually find this much more interesting to look at, which suggests that perhaps coloring that doesn't "steal the show" from the lines could be more interesting:
