classics via magnetic particles
robert hodgin (aka flight 404) a digital artist has been investigating visual systems via coding since the early 90’s. his earlier work was a broad exploration of actionscripting, however, he has shifted his focus to processing in the last few years.
his work ranges from simple 2D data visualizations to immersive 3D terrain simulations with interests including theoretical physics, astronomy, particle engines, and audio visualizations, he works in java, processing, c++, cinder, openGL, and GLSL.
below are a few clips from his recent field of research – stippling – in which magnetic particle systems evolve to produce classic works such as rembrandt peale’s portrait of rubens peale (25,000 particles) and laocoön and his sons (50,000 particles).
