For the AlgoMech 2019 festival in June I created a new performative drawing piece, A Perfect Circle. The piece is about how we interface with computers that analyse our activities. It consists of a video and accompanying plotter drawings.

Making A Perfect Circle presented me with a few challenges. The make the video element I hacked together a couple of Processing scripts that did basic motion tracking by following a user-specified colour. It would draw these lines, creating new lines (instead of adding to an existing line) at each major turn and giving them a unique colour.

I’m not a very Christmasy type person. I’m not against it or anything, I just don’t really get into the spirit of it. However, I just heard a very festive song on the radio and since that all I can see are Christmas Trees! So here’s one for ya!

This piece was originally entitled Krap. It started out with the text and was a reflection on my mood. This I felt was quite negative so I added the faces and am now transforming it into a portrait of a man who loves music!

A reflection of my mood and also my first of this style to be drawn directly into the computer! It was a lot easier than I thought. In Inkscape I just pressed Ctrl + L to get rid of all of the extra nodes then smoothed it all out. This piece will make a lot more sense soon!

Something I did on the train to Leicester. A bunny drawn in Inkscape. A very happy one at that, despite being blue.

Some new work. Inspired by a friend who got a nose bleed on Saturday.

Inkscape getting that little bit easier to use. Would be great if it didn’t slow down a lot!
