Winds February 13, 2014 Boone, NC Process.2015.02 Compare this to the drawing from Process.2015.03. Here, color is absent. Wind direction, as in the other process, controls each line’s degree of rotation away from the center. #processing #proce55ing #drawing #windart #winddrawing #newmedia #newmediaart #digitalart #digitalartwork #generativeart #computational #datavisualization #dataviz #art #geometry #geometricart #creativecoding #algorithmicart #complexity #color #layers #marknystrom #SciArt #boone #boonenc

Winds April 27, 2015 Boone, NC Process.2005.01 Strange shape today. Winds were light and the pen probably didn’t fly off the paper and swing back down often enough to define a circular shape. #art #analog #wind #windart #winddrawing #drawing #generativeart #lines #texture #ballpoint #color #purple #pink #boone #boonenc #marknystrom

Calm winds at the start of today’s wind drawing. #art #analog #windart #winddrawing #drawing #generativeart #ballpointpen #process

How many balloons does it take to hold the weight of just one hour of my contribution to global warming? Find out tomorrow (Earth Day!) at the Appalachian State University STEAM Expo. #art #science #ArtSci #earthday #appalachianstate #appstate #ncsciencefedtival #climatechange #globalwarming #co2 #carbondioxide #balloons

My wind drawing sprung a leak. Day two, more rain than wind. #art #analog #wind #windart #winddrawing #drawing #generativeart #lines #texture #ballpoint #color #pink #blue #wet #processing #boone #boonenc #marknystrom

The second day of a two day wind drawing starts out wet with some overnight rain. #art #analog #wind #windart #winddrawing #drawing #generativeart #lines #texture #ballpoint #color #blue #pink #red #boone #boonenc #marknystrom

Today’s wind drawing has a flattop thanks to warping of the plexiglas base supporting the paper. Some heavy bricks will hold the corners down tomorrow. #art #analog #wind #windart #winddrawing #drawing #generativeart #lines #texture #ballpoint #blackandwhite #boone #boonenc #marknystrom

Something is a little off with today's wind drawing. I think the paper curled up on the sides and the pen could extend beyond where it normally goes. I'll secure the edges in addition to the corners next time. #art #analog #wind #windart #winddrawing #drawing #generativeart #lines #texture #ballpoint #blackandwhite #boone #boonenc #marknystrom
