Click here to go to Ablaze.js app.

This image was created using an emergent algorithm. Every image created by the app is unique and will never be repeated.

Algorithm:
Arrange a number of points with initial parameters x, y, speed, direction and assign a random speed and direction to each. After each iteration of movement, analyze the distances between each point. If 2 points are within a certain distance of each other, draw a line between them.

Shempi Vis from Patrick Gunderson on Vimeo.

This is a demo of a music visualization I made in flash. This was recorded in real-time.

I love using music for data vis because the spectrum contains copious amounts of organized, yet seemingly random data.

The music is Shempi by Ratatat who have an album coming in June http://www.ratatatusic.com

creep from Patrick Gunderson on Vimeo.

Here’s something new: A video of a flash program performing audio spectrum analysis. This was recorded in real-time.

The music is Scala & Kolacney Brother’s “Creep”.

So I present a new work: Just Survive Until Spring. It honors how I’ve felt the last 5 months ;)

Additionally, I have decided to undertake an experiment. I will be releasing this image, full resolution, for you all to download and print for just $1.99. This will just cover bandwidth and service charges for processing the purchase. I will be releasing the purchase URL here, on flicker, behance and twitter when it’s available.

I will still offer limited edition, signed prints for collectors.

It seems to be running much quicker and I think the performance gain will be even more apparant as I add in more media inputs.

Thank you Abduzeedo for pushing me over the top!

At my current rate, I should break 400k around the new year. Here’s to hoping :)
