Algorithmically generated flower beds!! - Rebecca Ravenoak at !!Con 2024

Algorithmically Generated Flower Beds!! (inspired by Ancient & Modern Polychrome Textiles) Polychrome textiles are created by overlapping and interlacing two or more colors of thread in a way that creates areas of solid and blended colors. This talk is about using that same technique (digitally) to create flowerbed textures based on a fabric structure called Crackle or Jämtlandsdräll, but this is not a technical weaving talk. It’s about creating colorful patterns that can be used in pixel art based on algorithmically generated tiles and patterns.. Rebecca is a computer programmer and artist who works with digital and physical textiles. They weave, code, bake, and garden just south of Oakland in a wacky old house full of cats and as many weird little succulents as they can grow.
