Built a new Processing + GLSL visual instrument tonight.

This version can: • switch between camera / video / image folders • dynamically load folders during runtime • lazy-load images instead of preloading everything into RAM • apply mosaic fragmentation + mesh distortion • auto-randomize layouts • crop media properly instead of stretching it

I’m trying to start releasing one free creative coding tool or experiment every week over on Patreon from here on out.

More sketches, more systems, more visual noise, more strange little machines.

Dither Lab is a realtime Processing + GLSL experiment that transforms live camera footage and video into dynamic dithered textures and fragmented electronic surfaces. The sketch explores: Bayer dithering noise-based thresholding block-based image reduction signal degradation aesthetics realtime shader manipulation Controls allow live adjustment of: contrast brightness threshold bias grid size animated noise inversion blending intensity I’m interested in the point where imagery stops functioning like photography and starts functioning like material. Built with: Processing GLSL shaders Processing Video library Code available on Patreon. Part of the ongoing Another Human in the Loop creative coding lab. #processing #creativecoding #generativeart #shaderart #glsl #newmediaart #computerart #experimentalvideo #realtimegraphics #videoart

Happiness is not a momentary event. It has a long tail that reaches back into the past. Happiness feeds off all that has been part of a life. It does not have a shiny appearance; its appearance is an afterglow. We owe our happiness to the salvation of the past. This salvation requires a narrative tension in which the present integrates the past, thereby making the past a continuing influence, even resurrecting the past. In the state of happiness, salvation reverberates. When everything becomes part of a maelstrom of actuality, a storm of contingency, there can be no happiness for us. Byung-Chul Han. 2024.

This Processing sketch began while looking at paintings by Paul Kremer and thinking about softness, suspended forms, color relationships, and slow organic motion. I wanted the shapes to feel somewhere between paint, organisms, clouds, and inflatables drifting through a dream-space. The blobs are generated with Perlin noise and continuously reshape themselves over time, creating forms that never fully settle into a fixed identity. Each object can move autonomously, change scale, mutate its surface tension, and cast soft shifting shadows against a rotating palette of candy-colored backgrounds. Even though the system is interactive, I’m sharing the video without the HUD or controls so the piece can exist more like a moving painting than a software demo. Built in Processing. Downloadable on Patreon. Influences: Paul Kremer, biomorphic abstraction, soft sculpture, digital painting, generative animation, liquid forms, ambient motion.
