Noise from Circular Walks on a Self-portrait with My Eyes Closed

A new video piece. Premiered at BEAMS Together Apart III show on November 26, 2022.

A bit of a noisy piece. I used the pixels in a self-portrait under circles to create the sound: each circle makes a short sound "loop". The image changes periodically via various filters, and this changes the sound.

distance function 36 ZZ

I noticed that this old video of mine, https://vimeo.com/171527524, does not look too good. So I remade it, with higher resulution, made it 120 seconds instead of 60 seconds, and reduced the number of particles from 20 to 10.

Truchet tiles+flood fill

Inspired by Ned Batchelder's post, I'm playing around with Truchet tiles. I wrote some flood fill code, too. It's amusing that one can use an "incomplete" set of tiles, to get different visual effects.
