Phyllotactic FFT Spirals

Modifying phyllotactic patterns using fft of microphone input.

Experimenting With Transformers & Nokens

Sometimes a single word isn’t enough. What if you could blend tokens or use non-tokens (aka nokens¹)?

Proteus

Many of these prompts are challenging for current generative imagery models. Compare: 253 “a motorcycle” vs 999 “a black background with a large yellow square”.

SDXL lightning

Today ByteDance released SDXL Lightning (adding to the family of distilled/faster SDXL versions Turbo, LCM). From the paper, we can improvements in the quality and how close…

Parti Prompts

SDXL images were generated with 25 steps using the FP16 variant

The Stable Cascade 2 Step

Stabilty AI has shared an early release of Stable Cascade (built upon Würstchen). Whereas Stable Diffusion uses a single UNet followed by a VAE, this model uses 2 UNets -…

Video Color Halftones

Webcam filter that uses a grid of circles to create a halftone effect. The color / size of the circles is determined by the video pixel color and intensity.

Video Filters

Exploring filters applied to images captured from the webcam. Inspired by this coding train video.

Video Grid Delay

A fun little webcam video effect. By capturing video frames, and playing them back in a grid with increasing delay, we can create a kind of “time lapse” effect.

Daily Sketches

P5 sketches from late 2018

Mouse Color Worm

The worm grows randomly, but the color is based on the mouse position. By using HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) color space, the user can control the color of the worm by…

Video Diff Loops

Mixed together two video loops, with the difference between the two loops shown.

Video Grid Random Delay

A slight (but FUN!) tweak of Video Grid Delay where the delay is randomized.

Video Halftones

Exploring using the webcam to create a halftone effect, like ye olde newspaper…

Lines

A line is a series of points … and moving those points with noise is a fun way to animate them.

Video Four Tint

Tint modifies the color of future image operations.

Alien Love Worms

Around the time the glowforge was announced, I saw some inspiring art that had many layered cuts. I thought they were paper, turns out they are by an artist named Gabriel…
