my new site + 1 question

http://www.echocolor.com
I would be glad to hear any feedback on my site, just updated it 
My question is about the last p5 piece you'll see there. When it loads there are 100 "squiggles" there.. Each time you click 100 more are added. It doesn't get really cool until about 600 or more, then you can really start to see the image.
I wish I could run it with smooth() on because it looks much... um.. smoother. But 100 squiggles would be pushing it (on my machine)..
I'm just trying to imagine how I could get the image I want... If I could find someone with a high speed machine that could run it, and capture a quicktime for me, would that work?
It's kind of an ignorant question, sorry... but, I just don't know how much smoother it *could* get on a top of the line machines...

which comes first, the paintings or the software?
if you want to make a movie use the saveFrame() function. just place it as the last line of the loop() and it will make a sequence of images. you can then load the images into many programs and make a movie from them. it may take a long to time to render the frames.

oh cool, I hadn't seen that. Thanks.
The paintings come first, I've been painting longer than I've been coding. But it's starting to get more reciprocal, where I get ideas for paintings from p5 experiments, not the other way around. Still don't know where code will fit in, but it seems to be evolving still.

I think your paintings look like programs. Like you show with your digital works, the paintings can be easily recreated with software.

Is that a bad thing?
My painter friends think the digital peices are interesting, but they prefer the 'hands on' texture and feel of a real painting.

I don't know if that's a bad thing... I guess it's not.

my ideal medium would be a canvas-sized tablet PC with a paint-brush pointer. one of the major problems of computing is that it bores the hell out of most of your body...

I've wished for that too benelek. It is cool when art-making is physical exercise. We need giant keyboards so we can write code and get a workout too.

Maybe like some sort of keyboard lying on the floor with pads on it, so you have to step or jump from letter to letter

haha, yes i've used one of those. though it was a musical keyboard, and the keys lit up when i ran across them!
actually, a while ago i tried using a penlight and a webcam to create a more bodily controller than a mouse. add that to a full-wall projector, and the dream would have been fulfilled... the problem was that the webcam working in conjunction with some p5 app i wrote to turn the images into mouse positions on screen, were all too slow. there was a real delay. so much for dirt-cheap solutions...
