Made some more changes to my generative art engine. Got rid of the ugly artifacts and added some more controls.
For the first time since I started making generative art pieces, I'm proud of the results. In my earlier works I felt I was just experimenting with the medium. Now I have the feeling I'm actually creating something beautifull. It's time to print some of these pieces!
the incredible beauty of the sea sponge, weaving the rainbow of glass.
Closing line from a fascinating summary of the metabolic basis of sleep: “I’m often asked, ‘Do sponges sleep?’” said Abrams. “That’s a whole new world. There might be ways to test that.”
Sleep seems to be a conserved metabolic process. Even mammals differentiate their metabolism by sleep vs non sleep modes, growing (more cell division) during sleep cycles if I recall.
I wonder if it is a common conserved phenomenon, but with some subsumption in mammals by the cortex. Something similar happened with elements of the motor cortex (what used to be a reflex) coming under control of the frontal lobe.
