iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

It's been a while since I've posted much of anything, so here are the different stages of my current experiment, inspired by Edward Zajec's “Ram 5” (1969).

Thanks, it's an old project/program, I'm trying to figure out how it computes this kind of iteration 😅.

Here is the second and final stage of my bike ride around Puy de Sancy (today on the eastern side). I hope these landscapes will remain just as beautiful and wild.

The first stage of my trip around Puy de Sancy, the beauty of the scenery makes the strenuous climbs well worth the effort.

Someone told me to subdivide the grid at the beginning of each new cycle.

Thank you, it's a fairly common algorithm for creating glitch effects (I've seen it used before to create TV show opening sequences). I'm interested in it because it analyzes the image as a whole while profoundly altering it.

My program uses an image of a canyon and sorts the pixels based on their brightness. It does this using a grid, which slows down the process, but once the pixels are sorted, the image becomes a simple gradient.

Yes, this is a great inspiration. I thought the cover was created using a program that draws random lines to produce this relief effect, but in fact its original title is "100 Consecutive Pulses from the Pulsar CP 1919," and it comes from an astronomy encyclopedia, it's the first known pulsar

Thanks, this is an old program that I just modified; I feel like my projects are never finished and keep evolving even after they're exhibited.

A combination of a random modular grid and pixel sorting; the image used is an aerial view taken by satellite.

En fait, il s'agissait d'un code challenge où j'ai pioché des thèmes, des algorithmes pour créer la composition, ça avait du sens quand je l'ai écrit 😅

...puis si elles ne sont pas irrégulières je leur applique une transformation, la couleur c'est tout simplement la valeur du bruit. Tout est là : github.com/nclslbrn/for...

Nicolas Lebrun @nicolas-lebrun.fr · 07/04/2026

C'est à peu près ça: je crée un tableau (2 dimensions) où je stocke des valeurs du bruit de Perlin (je lis la texture sur x et y), après j'utilise Chebyshev pour détecter des valeurs irrégulière par rapport à une moyenne (selon un rayon de 15 cellules).

An experiment using the Chebyshev distance to determine inequalities/irregularities in Perlin noise. #algoApril #algorithmicArt

I'm not sure about the soul, but yes, we're both trying to give concrete form to abstract concepts, to experiment with (presumably to understand them) theories about rhythm and harmony.

Nicolas Lebrun @nicolas-lebrun.fr · 04/04/2026

It’s very interesting; I don’t know if I’ll do anything with it: my knowledge of electronics is very limited, but I’d love to reuse the principle.

Nicolas Lebrun @nicolas-lebrun.fr · 04/04/2026

I really like the idea of bringing techno to life; it’s fascinating to make concepts like sequencers, oscillators, and modulators visible. @julienv3ga.bsky.social did something similar with his DiceGL project, he makes randomness physical. www.v3ga.net/dicegl/.

It's beautiful, did you use Perlin noise?
