View of the upper part of a vast glacial valley with a full view of the main branch and some side branches of the remaining parts of the (still massive) glacier which has been shaping the valley for the past ~15,000 years. The peaks surrounding the glacier are some of the highest in the eastern Alps (3800-4000m), and the entire upper regions are covered in deep snow, creating a beautiful focal point and contrast with the pristine blue sky. The view is from the middle section of the valley where…

#Glacier #LandscapePhotography #Photography

An high alpine glacial origin zone at around 4000m elevation. Most of the summit and ridge line is covered in thick ice & snow, providing only little contrast to the mostly overcast cloudy white sky. A bit further down the first seracs are already forming, ahead of the so called "labyrinth zone" caused by a sudden steep 1000m+ drop (out of frame). Parts of the ice in those seracs are showing the distinctive rich cyan color of glacier ice. A couple of "small" rocky ridges are semi-exposed. The i…

Captivating & haunting from the first moment... In Hydrangea's (aka Hortense Coumailleau) Arborescens the atmosphere is full of seemingly frozen, yet moving & evocative layers/chords floating atop a warm bass...

Old graphical editor prototype (2019/20) with various ways of managing multiple selections of graphical entities, incl. align/distribute, duplicate, invert, select/deselect region (box/convex hull). editor is generic. items could be files, shapes, mesh vertices, 2d/3d points, graph nodes, whatever...
Been re-animating this prototype and toying with integrating it into my personal note taking & media management tool to organize items into piles for batch-processing and to easier app…

Screenrecording of a graphical editor prototype showing a number of circles being duplicated/manipulated and re-arranged via a sequence of mouse gestures and keyboard commands (the most recently executed command is shown in the top-left corner). The steps are: - turn on grid - create/duplicate circles (with grid snapping) - selecting all - duplicating selection(s) to form an 8x8 layout - manually selecting 4 circles and then all circles in the convex hull - drawing multiple box selectio…

In the following, replace:
- "school/education system" with "open source"
- "Western-style" with "supply chain security"
- "Developing countries" with "indie devs" or "FOSS developers"
- "richer nations" with "corporations/big tech"
...and see where we're at in #OpenSource…

Ever since having had a chance to use a microWAVE for a few productions in the 90s, I always had a softspot for Waldorf synths because of their spectrally rich & interesting sound character (and their design had a big impact on the few synth engines I coded myself)... Eyeing again their Iridium desktop synth, which with their wavetable, sample, granular or resonator-based oscillators and ample filter and modulation features is also so fresh, innovative & powerful (even though it'…

Inversions (2021)
#GenerativeArt #Animation #Circle #Inversion

Animation loop of hundreds of white circles being transformed via inversion using an focal point (which is moving via sine wave). The result is a trippy spatial deformation and ever changing constellation of the circles, seemingly folding space inside/out (and back again)
