Implications explores the symmetry of a chaotic system in motion. Each output contains a selection of geometric shapes that slide, twist, and resize over time. Their intersections divide the canvas into two regions, each with its own set of rules for generating mathematical textures. As predictable geometry and chaotic automata intersect and evolve, a variety of organic and artificial patterns emerge. Gradually, the colors and rules shift, and new forms appear. Through a series of carefully reflected changes, symmetry persists.
Each animation is constructed from large virtual pixels. By varying their scale, spacing, and alignment a variety of patterns are generated — ranging from a pixel art aesthetic to one with softer, larger-scale structures. Where does a tiny pixel end, and the emergent whole it’s a part of begin?
Building on the foundation laid in mono no aware and Zoologic, Implications continues the work of making the beautiful complexity of cellular automata visible and accessible. New techniques for optimization, color generation, and constraint selection -- along with simplifications to features and interactive controls -- place focus squarely on an endless and compelling animated experience.
Implications is a meditative work best experienced over the course of at least a few minutes. Put on some music, full-screen the live view, and enjoy the show! What sorts of symmetry do you see? What sorts of shapes and textures are there, and how do they move?

Display Notes
Looks best in the Live View. For best results with image smoothness and color, view on a OLED 120 Hz display such as an iPad Pro or LG C1. Powerful CPU (and GPU) will help with animation smoothness. Controls can help tune performance for your machine -- like Detail Level [X] and Target Framerate [F]. See Help Menu [H] for more information. Looks great on a projector. Keyboard is required for use of optional interactive controls.

Sales Notes
Mint #1 was pre-minted live in the Art Blocks house at Marfa to my friend Mike -- who also has mono no aware #1 -- in recognition of our friendship and his support.
