Following our interim presentation, I realised I needed to go on an entirely different path to better understand the benefits of the Processing machine. So I backed off from doing any tedious illustrative work and just perused through the OpenProcessing website to get some ideas.
I began by experimenting with some interactive code and found I could draw some interesting starfield imagery and thus, decided to stick with some constellationy, nebulae-y, and galactic awesomeness.
Mapping the stars.
Inspiration for this image was derived from this quote:
Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today.”
A gas giant is born.
Unfortunately, I am having issues saving them as .pdf's. I shall upload these onto OpenProcessing and perhaps someone can help me troubleshoot the issue.
Now I must tend to my poor little kitten who has conjunctivitis. Adios.
