Origami is an art form that I would like to explore, and this is inspiring. Awesome work, I never knew this was possible. Origami is an art form that I would like to explore, and this is inspiring.

The show, Travelling Wave, was shared with painter Luke Nilsen; it included some collaborative canvases, with Nilsen painting over McCabe’s digital patterns, and new works from McCabe’s Butterfly Origami and Nervous States processes. But also on the (very crowded) walls were images from a new McCabe process, based on cellular automata. In themselves the images are chunks of psychedelic maximalism, similar to McCabe’s earlier work. But once again the real hook here is the mind bending and unusually rich generative process.

I wrote about McCabe’s Butterfly Origami Method on generator.x a while ago, and was impressed by the elegance of the generative mechanism and the visual richness of the results. Nervous States is just as elegant, and visually psychedelic, but uses a completely different generative approach.

They all give back more (in a way) than the artist puts in, by setting up physical and formal constraints. The window technique literally transforms - folds and multiplies - the mapping between input and output. The marble technique also transforms the input/output map, but adds the physical dynamics of marbles and paint. As the image above shows, we get all kinds of nice stuff “for free” from this system: collisions, momentum, adhesion; the marbles trace distinct patterns as they rotate, and the rotating patterns change as the paint sheds. Just like a multi-agent Processing drawing machine, but gooier, and with more complex physics. For the digital hyperspace version of the folded window technique, see Jonathan McCabe’s butterfly origami, previously blogged on generator.x.

He’s a visual artist in Australia who specializes in algorithmic and generative approaches to the visualization of data. He was kind enough to send me DVDs of two of his pieces, “Nervous States” and “The Origami Butterfly Method.” I’m lucky that I was able to view them before the DVD drive on my laptop kicked it. They’re unearthly, fluid, organic, and definitely psychedelic constructions that seem to follow a kind of alien logic all their own. The “Nervous States” piece visualizes the output of a neural network, and the “Butterfly Method” uses a simple, iterative fold-and-copy process (described at generatorx) to create a trippily reflective image evoking butterfly wings.

it kinda sorta has been done using Winamp AVS, but McCabe is certainly taking it a few steps further.
