David's Algorithmic Art

Welcome to my website

Exploring the world of art through
the beauty of algorithms

What is algorithmic art?

Algorithmic art is art whose design is mostly generated by an algorithm, a finite series of well-defined instructions.

Procedural 3D Generators

A custom 3D engine, real geospatial data, and procedural generators were developed to render an artistic scene of real-world or procedurally generated locations.

Population Centers

A recursive branching algorithm is used to create population centers based on the number of intersecting branches. Rendered with Cairo.

Divergence

This artwork uses a simple genetic algorithm to create offsprings in a radial pattern with variation in size, hue, position, and rotation.

Aerial Mosaic

An optimization algorithm is used to replicate a target image using clips of National Agriculture Imagery Program aerial imagery across the contiguous United States.

Harmony

This algorithm analyzes the harmonic structure of a piece of music from a MIDI file and turns it into visual art. The closer you get towards the center of the image, the deeper the analysis goes, looking at the overall, high-level structure of the piece. As we approach the edges of the image, we get closer to representing individual notes and harmonies rendered in polar coordinates.
