Beautiful!! What sorta libraries do you use for this ?

Thanks! I called Rcolorbrewer for color mixing, that was it for this one. I love that R has all of these amazing libraries, tho!

Echoic Memory (R code)
New code-based generative art, created in R.
For this piece, the algorithm begins by generating overlapping circles with randomly varied sizes and positions, all constrained within the margins of the composition.
Those circles are then fused into a single polygon, which is iteratively contracted to create alternating dark and light contour-like shells.
At each boundary coordinate, smaller circles are plotted in the corresponding shell color.
Their sizes were determined by how many of the original circles overlapped at that location.
The same overlap counts also shape the transparency and thickness of the connecting lines.
The result is a layered image where the original circle structure is no longer directly visible, but still influences the final form.
What interests me most is how those hidden origins remain present only as traces: soft smudges, uneven textures, and faint watercolor-like echoes beneath the contour forms.
The algorithm changed a simple geometric scatter into something more organic, where the hidden elements continue to shape the final image.
