Generative Flowers II

Generative Flowers II, a new generative video project, was created, programmed and scored by Don Relyea. Mark Charneski photographed and scanned the original flowers.

Basically the program generates really colorful video art by running color fills through animated grayscale masks of flowers then applying video feedback. The color fills and certain portions of the animation are unpredictable. Some procedural processes are employed that sample the animation as it is being generated. In its pure state as a piece of software it is designed to never generate the same video twice or loop.

It was created for an upcoming outdoor installation at Victory Media Network in Dallas Texas. Victory Plaza has two 50x30 ft HD super screens and they intend to show works from an array of international video and new media artists.

I wrote an animation event manager to sync animation to the 120bpm tempo soundtrack. I used Werner Sharp's Image Export Extra for Director to render out the frames of video as png files in HD.

Be sure to check out the video on the project page!

Below are some rendered frames of the actual video.
