A generative piece exploring order and random; random photographs of a Japanese shrine and garden (from Meiji Jingu, Senso-Ji, or Chingodo-Ji in Tokyo, or Heian Jingu in Kyoto) are used as the basis for each iteration. As the work attempts to create a greater verisimilitude, random elements disrupt the process. A balance is achieved as the piece evolves. Steps in the application's process have also been saved out as frames for a video collaboration with Dr. Joseph Cancellaro. More information about the collaborative video is also online.Technical information: Built with Processing (Java based authoring environment), and uses original photographs as source images.
