Yellow stitches on black linen. Horizontal and vertical on/off stitches intersect to form shapes and patterns on a circular grid.
Close up of yellow stitches on black linen. Horizontal and vertical on/off stitches intersect to form shapes and patterns on a circular grid.
"Quantum Hitomezashi" is complete!!
Using @colorado.edu's quantum randomness beacon (random.colorado.edu) to generate starting states for each row/column of stitches. From those stitches these shapes and patterns emerge.

An embroidery hoop with back linen and yellow thread, with a series of on/off stitches in concentric circles. A laptop with corresponding numbers is also shown.
Here's how the "Quantum Randomness Hitomezashi" embroidery is going so far. Finished the first 6 rows on the x axis, starting 0,1,1,1,0,0,etc. These positions were generated by the first two pulses from @colorado.edu's quantum randomness beacon. #generativedice

Fuck, just got my backpack stolen in hopon-hopoff train theft in Brussels. Lost my #generativedice notebook and my laptop that has my Max Cooper work that I did the last two weeks.
What an anticlimax after 24h of travelling.
Generative sketch, pencil in notebook 20 horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines divide a square. Direction and starting point are determined by dice rolls. As lines are drawn, they are divided in segments by already existing lines, only every other segment is drawn.
250220 division by 20 lines
1. 10x10 cm² square
2. 10 start points per edge, every cm
starting at 0.5 cm
3. Repeat 20 times
3a. Roll 1d12 for edge + direction
3b. Roll 1d10 for position on edge
3c. Draw weave line* across entire
square, starting as "ON"

#creativecoding #generativedice
Generative sketch, pencil in notebook. 11 lines meander from top of page to bottom each one starting 1 cm out from the previous one. The sketch is symmetric across the vertical page axis. Dice rolls determine alternating steps of going 0.5 to 3.0 cm down with steps going 0.5 - 3.0 cm 45⁰ left or right.
250220 meander symmetry, 11 lines
1. Start at center top edge
2. Alternate 2a and 2b
2a. 1d6 down (0.5 - 3.0 cm)
2b. 1d6, 45⁰
1 = 3 left
2 = 2 left
...
6 = 3 right
3. Stop at end
4. Mirror line
5. Start new line 1 cm out, alternating left and right
#GenerativeDice
Generative sketch, pencil in notebook. 12 lines meander from left side to right side, each one starting 1 cm under the previous one. Dice rolls determine alternating steps of going 0.5 to 3.0 cm forward, with steps going 0.5 - 3.0 cm 45⁰ up or down.
250219 meander, 12 lines
1. Start at left edge of paper
2. Alternate 2a and 2b
2a. 1d6 forward (0.5 - 3.0 cm)
2b. 1d6, 45⁰
1 = 3 up
2 = 2 up

The next two weeks I'm stuck in Vegas. To stave off any Snake Plissken vibes, I'll be picking up #GenerativeDice again. At least it's appropriate for the venue 😀

2024 was the year of experiments in #DataViz #dataart #generative #generativedice #embroidery and #sashiko . I started this as a way of playing with data and generative aesthetics away from the screen, but also as anti AI art. The human, the process and the work is evident in these works ✌️

A radial grid drawn on fabric in an embroidery ring. Some stitches have been added to the centre. A die and coin are also shown.
Let's do this #generativedice together.. my thread is going to take a random walk across this grid. I step forward 1 (on y axis) then roll a D6 dice and flip a coin to decide how far left or right I'll go (on x). Here you can see I rolled +2 and then -6...

Really pleased how this one turned out. My first #generativedice #generative #embroidery experiment. The hexagon is subdivided by interweaving lines directed by dice roll and coin flip. Also my first try adding some quilting to enhance the rounded feel of the cells.

#WIP new #generativedice #generative #embroidery piece coming along nicely. Trying a bit of quilting in to give the cells a bit of extra depth.
