Here are some of my generative pieces that I made a while ago. I spent a lot of time writing the code that would produce these images, they're very intentional, and they're nothing like what any "AI" image generator would spit out.

abstract image: a circle drawn with many black dots, thicker at he bottom and thin at the top, from the bottom edge, many tiny streaks of red dots point downwards, creating the look of a liquid flowing down

abstract image: several tendril-like live on a black background, they split into branches and change color from green near the top to a dark orange near the bottom

a shape resembling smoke in the lesbian-pride colors on a black background

abstract image: many purple lines on a black background, starting in random places and converging into thicker lines, like water flowing over an uneven surface

Life has been 'lifeing'. Everything is chaotic and I'm just patiently waiting for May for a vacation. In the meantime, I am slowly working on my artpack package. I'm creating convenience functions, group_sample() and group_slice() that will allow you to quickly sample/slice entire groups out of data frames. This is something I personally do a lot for my art. Being able to drop groups of data can lead to some cool visuals sometimes: #rtistry w/ #ggplot2 in #rstats.

anyway, here is some more of my insipid, bland, soulless, unethical, and meaningless garbage; saccharine, pleasant, and empty work, that i am reliably informed by bluesky has no artistic value and whose creation makes me a bad person. #rstats #rtistry

sigh. okay look, this is another one of the "slightly menacing hearts" pieces i've been posting lately. the colour palette is very bright bloody pink and deep green, watermelon colours. see, red heart against green? so pretty, so nice... except the red heart has black rot in the middle, the colour is leeching into the surrounding canvas, and there are ugly slash marks marring the nice pretty background, as if something had corrupted something that should have been beautiful. perhaps the artist, quite publicly a repeated survivor of rape, is expressing a very human emotion through her machine-generated work? nope, can't be that, because all generative art is soulless and we should never draw distinctions of any kind when making broad sweeping generalisations is so easy

the existence of stars below the horizon

abstract procedural art in a similar style as the last few. a finely traced heart outline appears in the middle of the image, with grainy interior texture in glowing green that only partially fills the shape set against a background of brown shades. there are thin arcs extruding from the heart in all directions, and an overlay of what looks like translucent folded sheets traversing the image. generated with R and C++ using iterated function systems

languid in the afterglow

abstract procedural art. a heart in the centre, folded sheets wrapping around it. the image has a palette of red and black, and a very grainy texture

Nicola RennieCreating data-driven art | Nicola RennieIf you've ever wondered what data-driven art is, or why people make it, then reading this blog post should help to answer those questions. It also includes an example of data-driven art, which can be created in Python or R, and talks through the process of getting started with your own art.

New blog post about data art!

Have you ever wondered:

What is data-driven art?
Why do people make data art?
How do I get started making my own?

Then this blog post is for you! It includes an example using #TidyTuesday data - with code in both #Python and #RStats!

Crochet-inspired generative art

Rows of semi-circles the right way up and inverted, where each row is a slightly different colour, reminiscent of a crochet blanket

I've started collecting together some of my examples of data-driven art (with accompanying code) into a gallery

(Blog post coming soon about what I think data art is and why it's useful, alongside a tutorial-style example!)

Trying more flow fields through the same process of pixel sorting then selectively overlaying the original. This one is nice

Choosing pixels from a sorted or unsorted copy of a flowfield image depending on the hue of the original image. Anything from blue-green to purple-red gets copied, otherwise we see a sorted version.
