I helped out on "The Right Spin" about the astronaut Michael Foale correcting an uncontrolled roll, after a resupply vessel struck Mir 23. He made calculations on his laptop using Mathematica, including an animation. I converted the animation to broadcast video, exporting the frames and processing them using Photoshop. (Animation starts at 29:53.)

This wasn't rocket science (at least my part). I cringe now to see the pixelated effects in this "algorithmic art". Unless I'm missing the point, and this retro effect is deliberate?

Check out this guy's work: https://bleuje.com/animationsite/2023_1/

The same artist has some excellent tutorials on how to implement a lot of those effects: https://bleuje.com/tutorials/

I have been looking for such an in depth tutorial on generative art for ages. It's decided, tomorrow is a day off for me to explore Processing.

Thanks!
