Day 13 of #genuary2025: “Triangles and nothing else.”
Playful triangles.

Day 11 of #genuary2025: “Impossible day - Try to do something that feels impossible for you to do. Maybe it is impossible. Maybe it’s too ambitious. Maybe it’s something you know nothing about how to accomplish.”
3D printing with clay is surprisingly idiosyncratic. Generating custom—and possibly non-planar—#gcode for it always seemed like the dream. It has become a reality, and now I can generate Gcode using my 2D #svg drawing toolkit.
This is a stylized preview render with depth of field of a Gcode toolpath. It's a series of 2D shapes evaluated in 3D space, projected in a 3D isometric space, and rendered in 2D svg.
Day 10 of #genuary2025: “You can only use TAU in your code, no other number allowed.”
From the top left to the bottom right, the individual grid tiles represent the numbers of TAU up to 142 decimal places. For 0 (and the decimal separator), a dot is drawn; for 1, just one line in every colour; for 2, two lines, etc.

Day 9 of #genuary2025: “The textile design patterns of public transport seating.”
It's going to be fun to plot this one!

Day 8 of #genuary2025: “Draw one million of something.”
A hundred cells inside a hundred cells inside a hundred cells inside one cell. The algorithm randomly eliminates cells on the deepest level to get exactly one million.

Day 7 of #genuary2025: “Use software that is not intended to create art or images.”
A stylized blend from white over green to black using Unicode emoji characters. The code itself is written in Crystal without dependencies. It generates a CSV which can then be viewed in any spreadsheet software.

Every day I can't wait for the postwoman to arrive. Four #ptpx cards came in today.
From the left top to the bottom right: Trammell Hudson, smn_txyz, Anya Prosvetova and Hubertus.
Day 6 of #genuary2025: “Make a landscape using only primitive shapes.”
Dutch landscape, rects and lines.
#genuary
Day 5 of #genuary2025: “Isometric Art (No vanishing points).”
Keeping it simple today. Cubes shaded with dots.
#genuary
Day 4 of #genuary2025: “Black on black.”
This is Vantablack, Sumi ink black and Raven black on Ebonics black. Eat your heart out, Anish Kapoor!
#genuary
A bit later than I intended, but here is day 3 of #genuary2025: “Exactly 42 lines of code.”
Title: “Stone, Coal, Blood”. It's a take on textile art.
Day 2 of #genuary2025: “Layers upon layers upon layers.”
#genuary
Today's #ptpx harvest from the post office. The black card at the top from slash_ut7, the one at the bottom is from James Merrill.
Day 1 of #genuary2025: “Vertical or horizontal lines only.”
Happy New Year!
#genuary
Another one of those happy accidents I'm really fond of. This was a test to see if the clay would be stable enough to print at a 45-degree inclination. Obviously not, but the end result is interesting enough to investigate intentionally collapsing shapes. Something to explore in 2025.
Be safe and see you all on the other side!
Every year I create a Christmas card for my dad that he can send to family and friends. Here is the one for this year. White and green on 1.5mm grey cardboard.
Created with punt.js, the new genart library I've casually been working on.
I always love happy accidents and this one is particularly great. Instead of using transparent glaze I used porcelain slip on a 3D-printed stoneware clay cup. The emerging patterns are #verygen.
These two beauties from the #ptpx exchange came in. The one at the top is from etchfo, the one at the bottom from jcammarata.
This is my first time participating in the #ptpx postcard exchange, and I really enjoyed working on it.
Last week these 16 cards were sent out to five different countries. #penplotter
