Two people cycle in a dedicated bike lane that is separated from the roadway by green infrastructure. A person using a mobility aid waits to cross an intersection, standing behind a tactile walking surface indicator.

Computer generated image of a flower like shape with lots of oranges and yellows, and a green background with random sized circles.

A second example from www.seemsartless.com/gen/risley with a new background function from openprocessing.org/sketch/2759559 Output set to 32 back petals, 30 front petals, blues palette, and dark blue background. #creativecoding #creativecodeart #generative #GenerativeArt

Computer generated image of a flower like shape with lots of oranges and yellows, and a green background with random sized circles.

I added another parameter to this #p5js script www.seemsartless.com/gen/risley to change the background using the function from openprocessing.org/sketch/2759559 12 back petals, 26 front petals, orange palette, and dark Green background. #creativecoding #creativecodeart #generative #GenerativeArt

Computer generated image of a flower like shape with lots of oranges and yellows.

I took the #p5js code I experimented with in @openprocessing.bsky.social and added some controls and rehosted it as seemsartless.com/gen/risley This is the Oranges palette, with 16 petals in the back, and 23 in the front. #creativecoding #creativecodeart #generative #GenerativeArt

The colour palette really suits the image.

That's great, I will have to experiment with commands like: filter(BLUR, random(5));

So funny, when I'm working from home I go to the window when I hear the recycling truck coming, just to watch the robot arm - my partner is right, I'm still just a big kid!

Even with simple controls seemsartless.com/gen/offred can create interesting effects. Tough to compete with the original sculpture from the 2009 @agotoronto.bsky.social King Tut exhibit - Amarna Princess - maybe 1 of the 6 daughters of Akhenaten and Nefertiti. #p5js #creativecoding #creativecodeart

Another experiment from seemsartless.com/gen/offred - Egyptian Queen Meritamun from the 2009 @agotoronto.bsky.social King Tut exhibit - #p5js #creativecoding #creativecodeart

The tides ebb and flow,
reminds me that even I,
can sail far away.

The ebb & flow is never fully gone, never quite the same when it returns. The tide retreats. When it comes again, perhaps this time, I’ll go with it.

So much to be thankful for - lots of big things, but also the smaller things, like independent coffee shops across Toronto.

I never thought I would move to Toronto, but now I know it's where I belong ​I was the kind of Canadian who took digs at the biggest city in the country. But now I live in it, Sophie Nadeau writes​

Eight years later still madly in love with Toronto, the changing beauty of my neighbourhood, the resilience of humans who live here & the way all of it fuels me daily. Even when the path ahead is difficult, just know we’re all just trying to keep going ✨❤️ www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/ab51808...
