attractors
A new tweak to the program that’s generating great results. I intrduced an algorithm that assigns each color a position on the x/y grid of the whole image, and each color mark is assigned a tendency to move towards its assigned spot on the grid. Translation: a slight (but not total) tendency for like colors to cluster together.
This is an important step in having my artworks self-organize, and might lead to artworks that compose themselves (as opposed to starting from other images, as they do now).
In this image, note the three general areas: dark browns in the upper right, cool grays top left, and light orangey grays at the bottom. Those three areas weren’t quite so distinct in the original.
