Karsten Schmidt<p>For anyone interested: Here's an ambiguous set of instructions (in the spirit of Sol leWitt or <a href="https://conditionaldesign.org" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">conditionaldesign.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>) for (re)creating a simplified version of the infinitely evolving De/Frag piece (see beginning of this thread).</p><p>Preparations:</p><p>0) You may use any suitable medium.<br>1) Create a pixel-based canvas of arbitrary dimensions.<br>2) Create a palette of random choice of 4 colors, plus black and white.</p><p>Repeated steps:</p><p>3) Choose two random colors from the palette, giving black or white priority.<br>4) Using the chosen colors, create a random pixel pattern in one of four sizes (e.g. using percentages of the longest side of the canvas as pattern size, e.g. 1%, 2%, 5%, 10%, or 4x4, 8x8, 16x16 pixels...)<br>5) Choose a random pixel position on the canvas and a random color tolerance.<br>6) Perform the flood fill algorithm[1] from the chosen start position, selecting all connected pixels within the chosen tolerance.<br>7) Apply the new pattern (created in step 4) to the pixels selected in step 6, in an order and speed of your choosing.<br>8) Repeat from step 3</p><p>[1] The Flood Fill algorithm is described here:<br><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_fill" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_fi</span><span class="invisible">ll</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/GenerativeArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeArt</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/ArtMaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtMaking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/ConditionalDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ConditionalDesign</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/Instructions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Instructions</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/SolLeWitt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SolLeWitt</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/DeFrag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeFrag</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/Workshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Workshop</span></a></p>
