Sunday Laylines

Workly.com has a collection of java applets that draw organically! Theres also some nice stills taken from these random generative works.

Elout’s Zabnulvier is a hyper-painting java device for instant chromatic and geometric gratification! Of it he says ‘the project is about constructing and de-constructing image and painting, give me some paint bombs, let me rip it apart and create something new in the flash of time.’

Hexagon’s Griddle is like the Powers of Ten film – this time a web cam is falling into a fractal Sim City!. Lichen is a visualisation of the territorial campaigns of different lichen groups colonising Javaspace. And then theres Jigglepaint a ‘Nervous Action Painting.’ Machine.

Of course we also have Manetas’s Pollock machine done in Flash which leads us to other simulations of tangible art, paintings and sculptures, – my favourite of which is Living Mobile, a Calder simulation by Martin Wattenberg. Alternatively you can build your own Calder mobile with this ingenious applet from mine-control.com.

Net art loves old art is a page collecting digital simulations of ‘old’ art. Theres also this generative Piet Mondrian and this 5k Bridget Riley screen sim to keep you going.
