From spirals, to abstract lines to jellyfish. I love to iterate from basic mathematic algorithms into different directions. Again, the math behind the whole thing starts to fade into the background while movement and aesthetics start playing the primary role.

For the ones interested, the basic formula I’ve been building all this on is the following:

x = a * exp(k*phi) * cos(phi)
y = a * exp(k*phi) * sin(phi)

wherein a is the general size of the spiral and k determines how much the spiral grows with each iteration. phi itself is the iterator, increased by a given value at every step. If you want a nerdier form of this formular, check this out.

Additionally, I am using a midi controller (this one to be exact) to influence various parameters in real time.

Oh, and yes, there’s also a Flickr set for this!
