Classico Salz Bee Jul
Contribution to the Classic II Exhibition at the Electrohype-ROM gallery, Malmö, Sweden.
Concept:
The "Classico Salz Bee Jul" is a reactive pattern-generator. It generates random patterns by turning 25 large "pixels" on and off two times per second. The placement of the cursor rules the symmetry of the patterns.
Technical stuff:
The "Classico Salz Bee Jul" was made to run on a Mac Classic computer with a screenresolution of 512x384 pixels and a binary colorspace (pure black and white).
It was coded in Macromedia Director 5 under MacOS 7.55 on my Mac Powerbook 180. (33 Mhz Retro Tech!)
When the cursor is placed in the center - within the pattern - the pattern is random.
Horizontal Symmetry
When the cursor is placed straight to the left or right of the pattern, the generated pattern will be symmetrical along a horisontal axis.
When the cursor is placed above or below the pattern, the generated pattern will be symmetrical along a vertical axis.
When the cursor is placed in either corner, the generated pattern will be symmetrical along both a vertical and a horizontal axis.
