ALEPH NULL: INTERACTIVE GENERATIVE ART WITH THE HTML 5 CANVAS TAG



ALEPH NULL
http://turbulence.org/spotlight/alephnull
by Jim Andrews
Aleph Null is a new online work of interactive generative visual art
by Jim Andrews. Written in JavaScript. Uses the new HTML 5 canvas tag. Best viewed by the light of a full moon.
There's also a slideshow of screenshots ( http://vispo.com/aleph/jim ) to give you a sense of what it can look like in full flight. Aleph Null is color music. No audio.
It takes practice to tease the really good stuff out of it. It's like an instrument that way. Or a game in which the goal is to experience color music and create visuals you like. It's like hunting the Snark, beauty or butterflies. Unlike most instruments, Aleph Null will play something whether a person is playing or not. But it benefits immensely by a human player. It knoweth not beauty, is but the instrument of thine own incandesence.

Moiré Pattern

Definition: API

Application Programming Interface

An application programming interface (API) is a particular set of rules ('code') and specifications that software programs can follow to communicate with each other. It serves as an interface between different software programs and facilitates their interaction, similar to the way the user interface facilitates interaction between humans and computers.

An API can be created for applications, libraries, operating systems, etc., as a way of defining their "vocabularies" and resources request conventions (e.g. function-calling conventions). It may include specifications for routines, data structures, object classes, and protocols used to communicate between the consumer program and the implementer program of the API.
