A little snapshot of me, cutted out to show only the mouth and the high part of the chest. I'm wearing a white plush with hood, and I'm leaned forward.
This is me: so cool! :P

quotation (skip)
«From the beginning, government and government agencies have been subject to capture.They are more likely captured when a powerful interest is threatened by either a legal or technical change.That powerful interest too often exerts its influence within the government to get the government to protect it.The rhetoric of this protection is of course always public spirited; the reality is something different. Ideas that were as solid as rock in one age, but that, left to themselves, would crumble in another, are sustained through this subtle corruption of our political process.»

My genetic art creations

(randomly taken picture)

Obtained by reiterated mixing of mathematical algorithms, these fashinating vectorial pictures can be generated and printed at the desired size without detail loss. : )

files (skip)

These are the my old softwares, previously hosted on sourceforge. These project are to be considered closed. I leave them here just in case someone really need them for whatever reason.

Remember: due to an idiot policy of this hosting service links to these files will not work unless they're placed in a page of the same hosting service, like this one. This means that you'll be able to download them only from here. (Not my fault.)

whole picture and detail

This picture doesn't come from a research process.
I noticed it between many other combinations while mixing pic-genes trying to get something else.
It instantly catched my attention because of the interesting displacement of the shapes and colors: all the elements perfectly fade in the external ring, but the central-low horizontal band and the highest crescent seem to be nearest to the observer and hiding part of the picture.
Then I decided to keep it, even if it's not the result of a creation process. : )
I named it Serendipity because this word refers to the feeling that you get in finding something while searching for something else.

Here I was processing a gene which reminded me of the sun.
I wordked on it a lot and after many steps and crossings I managed to get such picture which reminds the sun at the dusk, bigger and deformed by the summer heat.

This is the result of a research process similar to the one which produced the previous image (y02), but it has been done starting from a different gene.
I think that the subject is quite clear (and this means that the result is good, considering that it's a graphical rendering of a mathematical algorithm!).

While working on a different image I found an interesting gene which reminded me of the ripples on the water surface.
I saved it and later I worked on it until I got such interesting result.

This is the result of many processing steps done on a specific gene. I kept finding interesting results, until an image reminded me of a landscape and I decided to focus on it, to get the final result.
I choose this one because it reminds me of a view, seen from a high place, of a island forest fading to a beach, and a sea going to the horizont, along with clouds, and all framed in a nice whirlpool-like effect.
Furthermore the peculiar rounded shapes of the color areas gave me the feeling of something similar to an ancient oriental painting, hence the name.

whole picture and detail

Here I was mixing genes for other pictures, when I noticed a peculiar gene which seemed to me a metallic object vaguely similar to a rounded and curved camera "eye". It reminded me of HAL9000, The computer from the "2001, Space Odissey" movie.
I tried to change those random color areas into something recognizable, keeping the same feeling of a mirrored-shape.
Hence the name: the result reminds me of a sea wave mirrored on the "eye" of a camera.
It comes from the same gene used to get the previous pucture, the y05.
