The Trouble With Algorithmic Art Mark Stock
2009-02-03

My subjects are usually abstract, fluid-like forms, born from lengthy computational fluid dynamics simulations. The surfaces represent boundaries between fluids in a virtual space, and those fluids are constrained to obey certain rules of physics. In The Trouble With Algorithmic Art, the subject is the result of a simulation of the collision of three spherical blobs. The surfaces are rendered as thin, colored, sheets of glass in front of a virtual lightbox. The image is then presented as a transparency, illuminated by a real lightbox.

I just listened to Mark Stock speak at the Bridges Math and Art conference. I love listening to computer programmers talk about their work. They tend to be so passionate. Stock makes some beautiful algorithmic art that makes me want to get back into programming. In fact, several of the speakers at this conference write programs that generate nature-inspired art. It’s something I’ve never before thought of attempting… I’m really inspired to brush up on my programming skills.

This is magic. seriously. computers can now do magic.

Facial hallucination We used to see this stuff on TV shows like Whiz Kids. Technology has now caught up.

You can do CSI-style image enlargement [to an extent] in PhotoZoom Professional. :)

We’ve posted this joke so many times on this blog that I feel like I don’t have to explain the punchline anymore.

So I really want to drop Physics at the end of the year.

lightsandclockwork:

(Actually, I’d really like to drop it now, but it’s kind of a bit late for that considering the first exam is like a week after we go back to school.)

Problem is, my mum won’t let me because it’ll look bad or something because it’s a science and sciences are sacred or special or something. I don’t know. She thinks I should drop RS instead (like I would ever do that because I love RS and I’m good at it and it’s actually fun) or nothing at all. Which completely sucks. I mean, I can see her point and all and I seriously doubt my school would just let me drop it either but I’m not sure I’ll even be able to get through one year of Physics, let alone two. The prospect fills me with a sickly kind of dread, if I’m honest.

And seriously, I have virtually no interest in the subject, I cannot stand one of my teachers and I’m doing only dubiously okay in it. And I don’t even need Physics to do Computer Science. The only reason I took it in the first place was because I was thinking about doing Engineering but I’m pretty sure I want to do Computer Science instead for various reasons, namely the fact that I don’t get excited about anything like I get excited about computers. I figure that’s a sign of some kind.

But yeah. Back to the doom and gloom. Maybe if I revise hard enough I can scrape a B, maybe even an A if I’m really lucky and there’s nothing about photo-electricity on the exam. Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh.

Physics isn’t necessary for Computer Science. There’s one subject, Networks and Data Communications which is just like Physics (the Applied Physics module in A Levels). You didn’t mention it, but I’m assuming Maths is your third subject. Statistics is important and Decision Mathematics, if that module is offered. Mechanics is totally unrelated.

Being excited about computers isn’t the same as CS, I’m afraid. It’s all about the programming. /scaring you
