Starting from scratch, I wanted to use two audio channels. So I ended up using buffer~ and play~ to enable this feature rather than the tie block shown in class. After noting I cannot produce music that didn’t sound like random noises I decided to go with the ambient noise route. Using a sci-fi drone…
Joy Tartaglia – Animated Abstraction
Geometric Abstraction Video Music is by J. M. Hotteterre And here’s the Max patch in action. After digging through some older projects, I found the object I was looking for: live.step. The project it came from was a sort of makeshift sequencer, so after I studied all the objects to remember how they worked, I…
Ryan Doyle: Animated Abstraction
Explanation: The individual squares increase and decrease in size randomly. When the squares approach their smallest size they produce a random low note and when they approach their largest size they produce a random high note. When a note is played, the background is set to a randomized color. In general, the higher the note…
Matt Johannesen – Geometric Abstraction
For this assignment, I was inspired by Thomas Downing’s “Dots” series, in which dots of complimentary colors form circles or grids: I knew from the start that I wanted to make buttons to change the dots’ colors, but couldn’t quite figure out how to make them use complimentary colors. Instead I opted for the dots…
Matt Johannesen – Bio
My name is Matt Johannesen, and I’m a dual major in CS and IMGD Tech from the distant land of Los Angeles, California. I can say with confidence that my everlasting love for LEGO building got me hooked on programming. Like any young LEGO builder, I loved the idea of seeing my creations come to…
Kyria Nelson – Animated Abstraction Example
Hi All, Just a quick disclaimer that I also completed this project as a student, so my “examples” are nowhere near perfect or ideal. If your animated abstraction looks TOTALLY different, that’s great (and encouraged)! For my animated abstraction, I wanted to keep the general idea of a gradient circle pattern based on Zanis Waldheims’…
Tom Tawadros – Geometric Abstraction
I took inspiration from Richard Anuszkiewicz’s Splendor Of Red (1965) for this project. I may have underestimated the time it takes to create something compelling in Jitter. Nevertheless, this is my valiant first attempt.
“Space Civility” – Abstract Piece by Thomas Curtis
Right off the bat, I wanted to do something that highlighted the juxtaposition of spheres and cubes. Whenever I’ve done abstract work before I either end up doing something with connected shapes that blend into each other or using circles and squares. I felt that the latter would be a better introduction to the language…
Isaac Donkoh-Halm Geometric Abstraction (WIP)
My creative influences for this project was Josef Albers and Kanye West. My goal was to recreate each of Kanye’s album covers only using geometric shapes, and that the user could randomize the colors and positions of the shapes using buttons. I am currently working on finding ways to do so, but at the moment,…
Kyria Nelson – Geometric Abstraction Example
Hi all, sorry for the super-late example post. Based on what’s been posted already though, it seems like you guys have the hang of things 🙂 When going through the suggested inspirations, one artist in particular stood out to me – Zanis Waldheims. I loved his artworks which featured series of similar shapes with simple gradients,…
Colin Ancalmo – Geometric Abstraction
The pieces I took inspiration from were Richard Anuszkiewicz (specifically Splendor Of Red, 1965) and Nassos Daphnis (specifically 6-87 THE EXPLOSION, 1987). Anuszkiewicz’s Splendor Of Red use multiple lines close to give a sense of deceptive depth, while Daphnis’s THE EXPLOSION uses thin shapes and bold colors to show movement and direction. Starting with the…

Inspiration Project Screenshots Max Patch ScreenshotFollowing the example, I collected my objects into groups, both in the compositions and in the actual patch. The first two are the major groups on the left and right of each composition. Their shapes, colors, and sizes change with the three large buttons. When I finished them, I realized…
