OK, now we’re getting somewhere. So far, the program that’s been generating these images has 11 possible settings for the shape of the glyph. There are closed loops, circles, lines, wedges, vees, etc. One can think of them as bits for a drill, or shapes of paintbrush. This latest experiment ups the chaos quotient by dividing the color value scale into 11 and assigning each color a shape based on its value. This puts circles, lines, wedges, etc. each into the same grid, but rather than complete chaos, it’s only partial chaos– because colors of similar values tend to stick together, we wind up with groupings of shapes. There’s still order and rules underneath. However, the mix makes for most pleasant twittering machines.
