The latest image from my generative art series was a nice surprise.
It started as this:
for (i in 1:500)
{
x = x*((0.98)^i)*cos(i)
y = y*((0.98)^i)*sin(i)
}
which is simple R code that generates 500 x, y points that spiral. That code gave me this:
I have a friend that likes to bring me coffee from various places in Latin America that he visits. Took me about a week to drink this one up. Tasted like a medium-dark roast, slightly bitter. Good, not great to my palette. Thoroughly enjoyed it however.

“It’s the ending, I believe, that Knight planned. He wasn’t going to leave behind a single recorded thought, not a photo, not an idea. No person would know of his experience.

It would have been an existence, a life, of utter perfection.”
