Generative Art: Google Logo
I’ve been impressed with what the Processing community does with generative art, and Actionscript seems to be at a point where it can be used much like Processing. In that vein, I’ve been watching Mark Knol’s generative art for a while, and while I wanted to do something like it, I’ve never actually bothered to create sit down and start coding it up.
Today, I tried to recreate his work on the Google logo. While mine doesn’t seem to have as much depth or chaos, I think it turned out fairly well. With some tweaking, I could improve it, but for now I just wanted to put something out there.
Hope you like it!
Great Googly Moogly!

Nice site, nice artwork, great blogs, thanks. I have afreind who is developing a drawing application with processing, I’m very jealous of his programming skills, mine are pretty non-existent!
Thanks, Angie!
I’ve seen some of the work done with Processing, and it’s phenomenal. Since I know Actionscript far more than I know Java, using Actionscript to generate images was a more natural fit for me. I’ve toyed around with Processing here and there, but the impetus to learn a new language solely for art just isn’t there, with all the other artsy projects I have going on.
