FlockingColors_2
Flocking algorithm + processing
----------------------------------------------------------
We can’t deny the beauty of these patterns but one can’t help but question the static nature of them. Algorithms are as much about variables as they are about output. Freezing them in time, giving them static shape questions how viable is one objects to the next. If they exist in the range, does only personal aesthetic preference decide importance of one over another and where the process plays such an important part how can we ignore their pre and post decessors. Can their physical manifestation exist not just as a single frame and how does this affect their validity. Are these just decoration and if so, does it then matter if they were created using generative tools or just simply drawn as they are?
Just a thought..
