This is my projection from White Night last month. I was hit by bloody Swine Flu so never got to see it live, so repeated thanks both to Sarah Bird and the BANG team for organising, and J4mie Matthews for videoing it.

For the source code, this is how it breaks down:

• intro/outro – Smoking Ribbon. Source code here.
• 0:10-1:20 – AbArt 59. Source code here.
• 1:20-1:45 – Disco. Source code here.
• 1:45-2:30 – Noise Garden. Doesn’t show too well in the vid, but you can see it better (and download the source) here.
• 2:30-3:25 – Orbitals. I haven’t added this to 100AbArts (yet) because I’ve rather overused it in videos recently, so a bit sick of it. But the source code is very similar to this.

I open source all my generative art code. I make a point of it. The reason I do so is because I would never be so bold as to declare my work the definitive rendering of any particular algorithm. I want others to join me in exploring these ideas and hopefully improve upon my work.

The 100 works at http://abandonedart.org are not intended to be a gallery, they are meant to be a recipe book. So, please, don’t just look at this video and say “pah, I could do better”. Take my source code and prove it.
