Another piece built from the same Grains algorithm, but this time as a two-layer plot. The reddish pink layer runs horizontally, and the sky blue layer runs vertically, with each one driven by a different pixel configuration/simulation. Both simulations were paused and exported after 10 frames, and unlike the earlier checkerboard-based versions, these started from concentric circles. 19" x 24", Tombow markers on bristol paper
Another variation built from my Grains algorithm. I started with an 8-color palette and treated each pixel color as its own state, then mapped every state to a unique tile of horizontal lines. Different areas of the pixels were shifted, stretched, and compressed using a mix of 1-layer Moore neighborhood, 16-direction neighborhood, and 2-layer Moore neighborhood rules. After that, adjacent segments were joined into longer continuous paths to make the drawing more efficient for pen plotting. Total plot time was about 5 hours!
