Chaos Presentation

Im setting this up tomorrow in the Tecnoescena 08 Art Festival in Buenos Aires. Im expeting to see really cool things there. Check the site out at: www.tecnoescena.com.

I couldn't go without this little WiiMote-flash demo I made with my friends Alejandra Banfi and Pablo Dompe (click on the image to view it -space for fullscreen mode and click to change animation-). Its extremely simple really, the beauty of it is on how complex imagery can be formed by very basic drawing rules. Being able to control the animations with the WiiMote adds a little more fun to it...

HOW? Its just the Graphics API drawing curves responding to some recursive 2D objects. A redraw method is also being called constantly to release the Graphics cache and copy its latest product into an image in the background. The main branch of an animation follows the mouse cursor and the smaller ramifications and subramifications move around in an angular, randomized fashion.

Tweaking just a few parameters produces endless variations!!
