Update 2026-05-21

This was a small portfolio site I made during my bachelor studies in art at Academie Minerva between 2009 and 2011. I left it untouched for fifteen years, and during that period browsers started enforcing that everything should be https:// instead of http://, breaking the linked CSS. I decided to fix that, remove a few broken links, as well as an email forward that no longer works because the spam filter has been trained for a decade to assume everything coming though itis spam. Other than that this website is exactly the same as before, as a small artefact of a particular period in my life.

Growth II - Maze.

Using the evolutionary algorithm (variation, heredity, selection) to determine the colors of a system of drifting, growing dots. I've updated the code a bit, it now has fragment shaders and an underlying layer of cellular automata, which influences the evolutionary algorithm. In this case, the Maze ruleset was used.
