Surface the Infinite

Another attempt on algorithmic art. This one is a bit more brisk than

the previous one. What do you think? - Your feedback is very much

appreciated.

Alex, I preferred the one before this. This is too cluttered for my taste, nothing pulling my attention to it.

What language did you use to write your program? What kind of algorithm did you develop?

I was a computer engineer and wrote many programs in many languages over the years. I am interested in this type of computer art and have thought about writing a program myself but have been to busy with hiking, biking, traveling and photographing to get serious.

I too preferred the the previous post. But there are some very aesthetically pleasing aspects of this one too.  This is bright and more colourful, though not quite as subtle, but I do think it will appeal to art lovers, as it seems to convey (to me at least) a modern picasso type of abstract.

Compliments & Best Regards

Alexander, the contrast between the angular, sweeping curves and the distinct and implied angles provides a very compelling composition. Greg.

Wonderful shadows and lights, however you did it it's stunning!

 

Best regards Alexander!

 

PDE

@Dave: Thanks again for your feedback! Actually, I was expecting that you would probably prefer "Umbriel", because already there some of the diagonal lines were distracting you. ;-)

 

By the way, the program is written in Pascal/Delphi. This is because its first draft dates back to 2006 when I did not know any other languages. When in 2012 I decided to improve some of the algorithms, I finally also decided to keep parts of the original code and thus to stay with Delphi.

 

The algorithms itself base on iterative computations rather than recursion (like e.g. fractals do). In particular, the outcomes are not self-similar. They also incorporate a mixture of basic geometry as well as complicated mathematical estimates - the latter mostly for performance reasons.

 

@Alf: Thanks again to you, too! It's kind of funny that you mention Picasso, since I am a big fan of his abstacts. (And indeed, personally, I do prefer this one over "Umbriel".)

 

@Greg: Thanks! I'm glad you like it!

 

@Pierre: Nice to hear from you. Thanks for the kind words!

Another exceptional composition!!! truly  beautiful conception.
