This piece represents three different botanical species’s spiral growth algorithm. Moving your cursor across the screen can explore different growth rhythms found in sunflowers pinecones, and succulents, specifically modeling leaf and petal growth between each species. Each spiral uses a variation of the Vogel Spiral formula, with point density and color gradients adjusted to mirror the real world counterparts. Scaling of dots mimics plants grow based on resources and age. Medium: This is generative digital artwork created using coding prompts, with Juno on Transient Labs. It was implemented on Juno with p5.js. Artist Bio: Allison Huang is a fourth year cognitive science major at UCLA, with interests in art and tech products. She is interested in modeling real life scenarios with art and algorithms, and creating beautiful pieces of artwork that explain phenomena the real world as accurately as possible. Artist Statement: I wanted to create a model of a natural phenomena. Nature is complex, and designed beyond a lot of our ability to understand it, so I wanted to create something that captures a phenomena we understand to the best of my ability. One phenomena we do understand a bit more is petal growth, variable form Fibonacci numbers, to fractals, to logarithmic spirals. I wanted to capture some semblance of concealed order in the natural world, in a way that isn’t mechanical, but also soothing.
