Edge of the World

Another gallery show experiment using automatic randomly mutated masking algorithms that combine together different parts of different random source images while painting those individual masked pieces using randomly mutated factory paint presets.

Feeling Blue

More experiments with multiple processing options running simultaneously inside of gallery show. Using the random vectorizer technique. With Surprise Me option for Auto Masking. And a custom process folder for the gallery show start cycle processing based on a collection of geometric transformation presets.

Alabama Blues

Homage to the place of my birth. Little know fact that i'm actually a southern boy, although i was never there long enough to have any real memories of the place. But who knows what dark hidden part of dixie lurks in my sub conscious.

I'm on a serious roll with pushing the envelope of what gallery show is capable of doing. Running new experiments every night. As i keep mentioning, we're barely scratching the surface of what this particular Studio Artist feature is capable of achieving. I hope others will join me in these explorations.

So how was this image made using gallery show. We're using a mutate factory PASeq technique. We're using Surprise Me auto masking. We're using custom preset folders for start cycle and end cycle processing.  We're using random sequencing through a folder of specifically selected source images with particular thematic relationships.
How it all works together over time as the gallery show cycles evolve is the real magic. You build a custom generative process and then let it do it's magic over time.

Night in Harlem

Jazz is alive somewhere. More experiments with custom generative art processes built in gallery show. We're trying to add some innovative new features to really push the boundaries of what you can potentially achieve with gallery show even further in Studio Artist V5.

Sometimes people bring up legitimate criticism about possibly getting lost or distracted with all of the functionality available in large monolithic programs (like Studio Artist). But then when you start using something like gallery show that allows you to utilize all of that diverse functionality in new autonomous ways, the synergistic capabilities of all of that diverse functionality working together to create custom generative visual effects opens vast and endless new vistas for exploration of what creating digital art could really be all about.

We've barely begun to explore or even understand everything this one small part of Studio Artist is capable of achieving. Begin your own unique journey and find out for yourself.

Venice

Working with mutating factory paint action sequence as a gallery show technique. In combination with multiple random water wash paint presets for the start cycle processing. So gallery show is always applying an auto-masked randomly mutated effects to a water washed previous gallery show canvas output.

V5 lets you work with end cycle processing options in addition to start cycle processing options in gallery show. You can also assign repeats to start and end cycle, so then it runs N multiple random applications of the effect.

Ghost in the Rain

Working with some of the new advanced gallery show features in V5 during nightly testing sessions. Part of the goal for these new features is to create something like a more fluid version of a paint action sequence where the script is series of mutating processes working together to create a designed but fluid generative process.

Duality

Screen grab from a nightly gallery show test run. Start cycle is running random geometric transformation presets. Technique is mutate factory paint. Masking is Surprise Me. End cycle is a folder of random cleanup PASeqs. You can set the number of repeats for the start cycle and end cycle processing in gallery show runs now.
