I created a set of images from one seed of my #WindsweptInfinity system yesterday. I'll share five, though I wanted to highlight this one first since it has a cool #OpticalIllusion effect that hasn't occurred in any others. The horizontal dividing lines appear to not be parallel due to aspects similar to the cafe wall and Popple rows illusions. You can explore those two in my interactive optical illusions collection, numbers 19 and 20. openprocessing.org/sketch/1941

#ProceduralArt #GenerativeArt
#p5js

A highly textural abstract art piece composed by layering a large number of triangles that are placed in a grid and shifted in position, hue, rotation, and scale using complex combinations of sinusoidal and smooth noise functions. This one is in landscape orientation, and is vibrantly colorful except for a large grayscale area a centrally located circle.

This is called the Ebbinghaus illusion. It’s an optical illusion of size perception.

The pink circles are exactly the same size. In the first image I show the effect. In the second I show the same image, modified to reveal the equal size.

On the left, a pink circle surrounded by six large gray circles. On the right, a pink circle surrounded by eight small gray circles. The pink circle on the right appears to be much larger than the one on the left.The same illustration as the first image, but with the gray circles faded out and two horizontal lines affixed to the top and bottom of the pink circles, showing they are the same size.

funny how the two near 0.5 look like a gradient! (they're actually two bars with the same color, by accident)

A slightly weird optical illusion I came across yesterday at Bingham's pond in the west of Glasgow. It might just be me, but the reflection of the shopping basket in the last of the ice makes it appear as if it's some sort of levitating cage.

A shopping basket on crystal clear ice covered by a layer of water. The mirror-calm surface and its reflection nakes it look like a metal cage levitating in the air.

A patch of melting snow that resembles a happy little elf with a smile and a hate surrounded by the green grass and mud as it warms outside and begins to rain. A fallen maple branch sits above the spot of snow in the grass and mud.
