B.I.G.A. 5 : JOIN THE DOTS


our generative toolbox is growing bigger. we have points, lines and polylines which are powerful tools. now as seen in the beginning of the previous article, a big question to ask ourselves is “how to joints the dots?”.
there are ways…

B.I.G.A. 4 : LINES 2/2


following our latest discoveries, we’ll go further with lines & segments and talk about non-parallel lines.

first let me clarify one thing. if you’ve followed the previous articles, you may have noticed that I keep talking about dimensions. it is because one of the key notions of generative art is complexity.

B.I.G.A. 3 : LINES 1/2


as seen in the last article, one dimension is the relationship between two values or two states of an object.
this relationship can be quantified which allows us to normalize and interpolate a value between 2 values.
as we’re interested in graphics, it enabled us to draw a line between 2 points.

now what if we add a second line?

B.I.G.A. 2 : LINE


as seen before, the point has no dimension.
an inifinity of times no dimension equals no dimension which is not really interesting when it comes to generative art.
in the previous example, I needed to make the point distribution issue easier to understand so I cheated by representing them in a 2D space but points, have no dimension unless we bind them together.

if we bind 2 points that have no dimension, we obtain our first dimension.
