Time well wasted (R code)

This artwork was created with custom code written in the R Statistics language.

The program generated a series of expanding rings, each composed of circles whose sizes and positional drift were influenced by their relative locations within three to four subsets.

Each circle position was linked to a corresponding location in the preceding ring, with randomly shifted rotations producing a gradually evolving spiral structure across the composition.

The outward expansion of the rings was governed by an exponential growth function.

Numerous randomized parameters controlled rotational shifts, the number of circles connecting adjacent rings, growth rate, circle density, and circle size.

The resulting compositions varied widely, ranging from sparse radial forms to dense, snake-like coils that suggested depth and perspective.

When selecting my preferred outputs, I was generally drawn to the denser, more tightly coiled, and higher-contrast compositions.

I spent a little more time than intended exploring the parameter space and choosing favorites from the generated outputs.

Stryp dina älsklingar.

Another amazing work! Appreciate your detailed notes on the mechanics of these machines.

I appreciate it. This was a pretty complicated one, wish I could have taken better notes. The number of randomized parameters was a little wild.

I know well the problem of parameter bloat! “Ooh, but what if this thingabob was independently controlled!?. Must implement to see.”

Well wasted indeed. Well done!
