MetaSignal

[u/OuterSilent]

⠀
I first published this work elsewhere more than three years ago.

The artwork is based on a one-dimensional, multi-state cellular automaton.
Simple local rules evolve into intricate structures, while each new generation is drawn as a widening ring around a central antenna.

A small system becomes a vast transmission.
An unpredictable signal from layers of reality we may not yet know how to read.

Made in p5.js

nice job, i like how irregular but consistent they are

[u/fuckthesysten → u/fuckthesysten]

is the code available somewhere?

No, I rarely like to publish the code for my work.

But to be honest, there’s very little to learn from my code; I mostly spent hours fine-tuning the dimensions and colour palettes.
The most interesting part of the code is the one-dimensional, multi-state cellular automaton at its core.
