Ideas for final project

Netizen

This idea is based on this sketch I built weeks ago. And also referencing Raven Kwok's ECO, in which he created a set of creatures that interact with each other using finite subdivision. However, in Netizen, I want to use the same technique to create an environment instead, and allow some agents (you know, the netizens) to live in it.

I want to visualize our online activities in a ridiculous (and in a sense, very literal) way. In Chinese, surfing the Internet (maybe no one is using this term anymore, just like no one is using the word netizen anymore besides Global Times) is called 上網, which literally means "go on the web". That's why I got this idea. The net represents connections, but it is also a cocoon in a way, grounding us to it.

Unlike many of my previous works, I would like this one to be projected onto a wall instead of published online. Thus, I will use processing to code it. Now I am porting some libraries I used to build the above-mentioned sketch to Java (welcome to use them and give me stars XD).

Fractal Jungle

This idea is inspired by some works I found online, like these ones

There are produced by the same algorithm using just simple fractal rules and geometric transfromation. I think it show us how simple methods can achieve beautiful outcomes. For this one, I would want to publish it on ETHBlockArt. As I really like the idea of audience involving in the process of generation. Though, I think I wouldn't give too much control to the users, maybe all they can do is keep clicking until one version they find beautiful occurs.
