introduction |
my favorite object is any tree at night in an urban environment illuminated by sickly orange streetlights for me they are an image as nature subverted yet still penetrating the pavement ablaze in artificial light they remind me of silent walks at night, an empty street acoustic, warm shadows in cold autumn here I use a computational process based on fire to explore such night time textures |

computational process |
forest fire percolation based transitions through a 6 deep stack of images hsb colour space for interpolation omni-directional fire spreading, or gradient based — shift click to play |

the applet (now in version 2, optimized for multiprocessor machines) |
is hereshift click for configuration palette for the fires |
|
some images |
because it still takes time to run here are some images showing the kind of emergent behavior that happens here. |
