‘Schwarm’ is a series of images created with a custom-made generative software. A swarm of particles moves over a surface leaving behind colorful traces. Over time, this results in an abstract composition, which develops unpredictably. The software analyzes a sequence of images using their original color values, which it then propagates like a brush spreading paint. The paths taken by the individual lines are influenced by deterministic randomness, which makes each image unique. After a predefined period, a new color composition becomes the source and all values defining shape and direction are renewed.
