the brief illusion that this time it will be different

wants me to tell him something pretty

Life has been 'lifeing'. Everything is chaotic and I'm just patiently waiting for May for a vacation. In the meantime, I am slowly working on my artpack package. I'm creating convenience functions, group_sample() and group_slice() that will allow you to quickly sample/slice entire groups out of data frames. This is something I personally do a lot for my art. Being able to drop groups of data can lead to some cool visuals sometimes: #rtistry w/ #ggplot2 in #rstats.

anyway, here is some more of my insipid, bland, soulless, unethical, and meaningless garbage; saccharine, pleasant, and empty work, that i am reliably informed by bluesky has no artistic value and whose creation makes me a bad person. #rstats #rtistry

New blog post about data art!

Have you ever wondered:

What is data-driven art?
Why do people make data art?
How do I get started making my own?

Then this blog post is for you! It includes an example using #TidyTuesday data - with code in both #Python and #RStats!

Crochet-inspired generative art

I've started collecting together some of my examples of data-driven art (with accompanying code) into a gallery

(Blog post coming soon about what I think data art is and why it's useful, alongside a tutorial-style example!)

Some #mathart based on Hilbert curves.

Just doing some iteration practice with the purrr package. Made in #ggplot2 with #rstats #rtistry #genartclub

A little bit of #DataArt on a Monday afternoon! Can you guess the data?

Playing with flow fields and pixel sorting, selectively removing colour by switching to grey only for certain hues. Made using R

More generative art experiments (trying to create a sketch/calligraphy effect)

Trying more flow fields through the same process of pixel sorting then selectively overlaying the original. This one is nice

Sorting the pixels of the second image (by hue) makes the first. #rtistry #mathart

I recently had fun making a new cover image for Mastodon by making treemaps of colours used in Bob Ross paintings (columns are seasons and rows are episodes)!

Painting data from #TidyTuesday
Image processing with {imager}
Colours extracted using {eyedroppeR}
Pixel analysis in #RStats
Plotting with {treemapify}
