Built by OVNI-CODE Snakebeings sometime when Macromedia Flash existed.

Creative Coding examples:

Insect Jitter device

Each point is controlled by a simple algorithm:

Move up OR down by 1-5 pixels
AND
Right OR Left by 1-5 pixels.

The points 'jitter' like many insects do -randomly travelling from flower to flower- as they spread out wider and wider from the initial 'hive' position.

Lines are instructed to join the points and the slider controls the 'growth rate' or swarm rate

Inspired by Jussi Parikka's Insect Media

Insect Media analyzes how insect forms of social organization—swarms, hives, webs, and distributed intelligence—have been used to structure modern media technologies and the network society.
