Singularity began when I purchased a 1983 Schlumberger Pen Plotter (bottom) at a yard sale. The plotter will only render vector drawings sent in an ancient language called HPGL. I found that I could script lines algorithmicly and export them for print in Java based language developed at MIT called Processing. This program evolved into an adaptable matrix for dynamic drawings rotating around a singularity. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() I recommend using a drawing tablet and starting with slow gentle movements. You can also download the script and modify it yourself in Processing. |
![]() Draw with music playing - or sing and shout while you move your mouse. Color changes result from frequency changes, and size is proportional to the amplitude of sound. |
Using a drawing tablet, I created the drawings below. The first three were created without the influence of sound. The other five were generated by singing or playing rhythmic music. (click on the thumbnails) ![]() ![]() |
