Two MURMURATIONS pieces by Camille Roux, framed on a wall above a sofa

MURMURATIONS is a generative project where dots are organized as murmurations.
“Murmuration describes the flocking of starlings, including the swarm behaviour of their large flight formations”.

Features:

32 Maths formulas for x and y
6 periods and 5 offset amounts for formulas
4 palette variations
7 color distributions
Some fogs and position randomness
… Last but not least, you can change the number of points pressing 1 (less dots) to 5 key (more dots, but can be very slow).

It was meant to be a Turkish carpet, and ended up far from it: I start from a constraint and improvise, as in improv theatre. In the last days I kept adding formulas, then constraints so every edition would hold, and a fog that makes dots near the edges less likely.
