Café

Alexander,

Great color & use of lines. I really like the moiré pattern created. Thanks for this one.

Rick

Nice design and color (which obviously could change as desired). Could you tell us a little more about how you created the image? What was the original image?

RICK,

thanks for your kind words. I'm glad you mentioned the moiré pattern, because I wasn't sure whether this would be regarded as a plus or a minus.

CHARLES,

hope you're not dissapointed when telling you that this image isn't based on any original picture. I do start with an empty 'canvas', and what you see is the result of mathematical formulas and pure computational force. ;-) These formulas look rather complicated and it takes quite some time until all parameters are set properly and my program comes up with what I roughly had in mind.

Thanks for your interest!

Best regards,

Alex

Wasn't sure, but not disappointed. My wife is a matematician and would be very interested in the formulas used. She taught a class for a while that used a formula for creatin macrome knots (using a math manipulation) that the students then used to create art images as part of their art class. They came up with some phenomenal images. Would you be willing to share the formulas with her? If so you can send them to me off line as a message through PN. I did look at your portfolio and you have many very interesting images that you have created. - Charles

Too small copy though, but still seven! Looks fascinating! Congratulations, Alexander!

Best regards

welldone, one can feel the algorithme

This is truly delightful.  The interweaving layers and patterns are mesmerising and I really like the play of light as it seems to reach all dynamic ranges.

I get an impression of hot evening sun, warm desert sands, the patterns left by the winds and their consequential shadows.

I wonder where Cafe` figured in it though?

But I do agree with Pierre, it deserves no less than a 7

Sincere Compliments Alex.

sorry for the late reply. What you wrote sounds very interesting, and it once more proves the - not only aesthetic but also visual - beauty of maths. :-) Are these manipulated macrome knots images availiable on the net?

Your offer for exchanging formulas creates a quandary in my mind: As a former researcher, I am excited about sharing ideas and discussing different approaches towards algorithmic art. As an artist, however, I am not sure whether to completely reveal the creative input behind my artworks ...

PIERRE

Thank you very much - always glad to see you like my pictures.

I usually do scale my images so as to fit the larger dimension to 600px. Since this one has ratio 2:1, and thus 600x300 pixels, it might appear smaller than some of my other uploads.

SHLOMO

thanks! - nice play of words by the way. ;-)

ALF

Thank you once again for your detailed analysis!

By the way, I do see coffee here: The steam of freshly brewed espresso, combined with the emulsion of one shot milk in it. Cheers! :)

Best regards to all of you!
