I'm giving them German titles now.

I developed `picture-jitter` quill middleware and use it a lot here.

Also, some more progress on interactivity with the program. And there are certain growth areas that would be really cool to have.

Maybe I just switch to making vars to callbacks and reference them with #'var.

I feel like I'm hammocking on the kind of 'instrument' I want my software system to be.

I'm a Kurzgesagt fan, video:

Emergence – How Stupid Things Become Smart Together

Code (highly explorative).

I had the vision of implementing the local ant smell count algorithm.

I made some Braitenberg Vehicles with colors that flip between things.

This was an exercise in making an emergent behaviour from local rules. If you enjoy such a concept, you will enjoy Jessica Flack talking.

Video is the current result.

You can get in touch with me or sponsor me for more: link. I could make an agar.io kind of game using this technology.

I developed a little on this for the 'pareidolia' blog post. Then made a video to capture some of it.

Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia

I want to explore what I call 'musico rhythmic pareidolia', the phenomon that makes one percieve random transformations of visuals to 'dance' with music.

And more general, I suppose for things to be 'in rhythm' or something.

Quote:

RICE stands for Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement. When you put a scoop on your car (that doesn't lead to a cold air intake) or a big spoiler (which won't make a difference), you're ricing. The idea is to increase its perceived performance through cosmetics.

The term 'ricing' is used by unix users to refer to the the practice of grooming the aesthetics of ones system.

Algo ricing is the presumably recreational practice of developing algorithms for enjoyment. Like all software development, this is an artistic loop with the software at hand.

I wanted to make a video for demonstration purposes. To supplant my idea-flow text at https://faster-than-light-memes.xyz/.

"The common language of rhythm".

Quote:

There is something happening when you look at this and listen to the music at the same time. You feel like that… the picture and the music are "dancing" or "related"…

There is a common language of rhythm.

And this is completely basically just made up.

I think it's something that - that basically you are looking for things to happen at the same time, or you have rhythms in how you percieve and the system is kinda like in a top down way pretending that things happen at the same time.

Even though they don't really.

Or Maybe it's even more sophisticated than happening at the same time.

It's kinda like in harmony or rhythm or something.

It's like the picture knows what to do or something.

I implemented a gravity that is merely inspired by Newton.

Added some simple blocks flying around, tried some live programming.

I learned about Sam Aaron's work recently (https://x.com/samaaron). Apparently stuff is called algorave.

I thought about live programming art and realized, you would only get good at if you do it everyday, just like programming, like everything. "Mind needs a wetstone" kinda thing.

When you don't draw a background in Quill, the shapes accumulate on the screen. I'm not sure what this is called. Claude thought "onion skinning" or "frame accumulation" (guess from the prompt).

I just call this spatter viz. You see it around 01:40 in the video.

Where can you go with something else than "pixel by pixel shader style"?.

Eventually I would like to play deeper with the concept of interactivity. Along the lines of picture being software, a toy, a tiny game world, which I hack on the fly.

Prepping for some more complicated vehicles down the line. Temperature bubbles are back. You can see some progress in my quill lib, I can now add a variety of functionalities fast, stuff happening when clicking and stuff like that.

• Now I modify the state without killing the window, for better or worse

I'm thinking about changing the layout so you have me and the code only tiny in the corner of the screen.

• I'll fix the fact that escape kills the quill window. I can use stumpwm key to dimiss is.
• I need to organise my rich comment, perhaps use files and emacs buffers
• It only needs to be a rich comment in essence. I think it get's large fast, I will have to give things names.
• I am not at the state yet where I put in and kill objects at will on the fly,
• perhaps this is the ultimate interactive programming ideal, to modify the picture in the computer at the speed of thought
• And humans will only get closer and closer to that

I want to make it an art. There is stuff to do to get the whole thing more dynamic. Also from watching this first attempt I feel where I could have done a lot with good timing and so forth.

Clumsily making the mistakes I need to make in order to become a live programmer.

I haven't seen anything like this myself on youtube, if you have examples of fellow travelers let me know.

I declare my goal to make a software that is exploring implementations "Inside Out" (pixar movie) cognitive computer system.

If there are algorithms, datastructures, programming languages on one end, and movies, books on the other end, this software art wants to be in between, towards a software implementation of the computer system of 'inside out'.

Really cool, a lot of meditation music for free: https://soundcloud.com/royalty-free-music-btm/sets/royalty-free-music-meditation

Viewing the last video gave me the idea of underwater - sea - or space jellyfish.

So I tried to bring it a bit of space jellyfishness.

I feel like now I'm slowly coming to something that starts looking like artistic style at the edges. This style at the moment comes from cybernetic and some physics / chemical concepts. Braitenberg vehicles with mechanism of motion, elements with brownian motion. Then, there is the aspiration of network science concepts with the connection lines. This is expressed in a straightforwart, toy-like software framework. Going fast, going with joy, bottom up. I'm not ashamed to aspire to the label of doing software sensually.

Trying to learn from the previous video and make it more engaging. I guess the meditation music does immediately bring in some relaxation and also epicness.

What I have learned from the previous video:

1. I try to show the art longer on the screen in fullscreen, I suppose many viewers just click for the art.
2. Just be more relaxed man, it's programmatic art.
3. It's art and programming, programming art, artistic programmig. Kinda programming but also kinda doing art. Really, it's the intersection of programing and art and cybernetics and a little bit computational a-life.

• The whole thing is the show, if I open a terminal and type, that's part of the show
• Erros and software concepts are allowed to be part of the show
• For instance, on error open another quill or terminals etc, error
• you could play with the concepts like boot-up and calibration, have something like a loading bar or spinner in the mix
• introduce interactivity with mouse and so forth
• if I kill random elements, some will stay around as corpses or something. -> actually fascinating idea, get a glitchy look by actually having bugs and glitches
• if I don't draw the background I get a ghost look, things like this
• perhaps its exactly the interplay between working and not working, that is a deep aspect of software - debugging. If one can transport this feeling, one transports some of the nature of technology!
