It's looking great! The system has two strong links to the narrative of the documentary - one to the history of computer art, and one to the aesthetic of mathematical functions.

The black lines with additive blending, chromatic aberration and subtle undulations currently capture the feeling of a CRT screen. It works well as a system describing the look and feel of early computational art, while simultaneously melding with the 3D/OpenGl aesthetic of the documentary. Consider it done.

To push it further, we suggest a few possible variations or presets (however you want to approach it).

  1. To make the connection to mathematical formulas more evident, consider building up the forms from simple to complex, showing the system drawing itself. Rendering black lines on white could suggest the aesthetic of a plotter or drawing machine, e.g. Roman Verotsko http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=29072&pageIndex=4
  2. A more diagramatic representation with cross hatches, a 3D grid, would contextualize these forms as mathematical functions (which is currently not evident without knowing where these algorithms come from).

Hey Omer,

Will you have time to work on adding a few different visual modes for oscillations?

As we were reviewing this system recently, it seemed that it could be nice to have the ability to tween from one formula to another, or see the system develop from a simple state to something more complex (as discussed in #1).

We're submitting the project to festivals in the next two weeks and would love to include oscillations.

Yeah, I'll work on it this weekend!

Hey Omer! Let me know how it's going, I'd love to check out the new presets!
