    Code Drawings in Hopscotch, Archives On Fire

    I wrote an essay for Archives On Fire, a special issue of Reconstruction: Studies In Contemporary Culture, an online journal. It’s long and meditates on the difficulties in archiving code drawings. The images were re-compressed several times, and so they appear in soft-focus as compared to the source images viewable on this website. http://reconstruction.digitalodu.com/Issues/161/Fajardo.shtml

    Hopscotch liked my tweet

    code drawing 124 got some love from Hopscotch on Twitter today. this hasn’t translated into that drawing being featured, yet. Hopscotch just released an update over the weekend that promises video-screen-capture capability. this would let me document the process of a drawing building up in a more shareable form.

    code drawing 128

    code drawing 128, various states, created 2015-10-26. I added another sprite that would clone itself to bring back the drawn lines. I had each one of the clones of the line drawing sprites move to the back of the composition as it was created. each of the drawn lines has a variable speed of drawing,…

    code drawing 127

    code drawing 127, various states, created 2015-10-25. expanded the variability of the invisibility, and made the horizontal shape 2X larger. at some point during the explorations for code drawing 126 I also limited the number of clones being generated to 50 vertical forms and 50 horizontal forms. this lets the drawing move much faster.

    code drawing 126c

    code drawing 126c, various states created on 2015-10-25. the last drawing had colors that were a bit too uniform in their value because they shared the same transparency. I added variability to the transparency/invisibility of the forms when they are created. once created, they remain stable with respect to color and transparency. the vary in…

    code drawing 126b, various states, created 2015-10-25. increased the size of the forms and let them run. in the post for the last drawing I misspoke. I mentioned transparency, when I meant invisibility.
