We often hear that machine learning models "learn patterns in data". But what does that actually look like in geometry? If you dropped a little elastic mesh into a cloud of points and let it learn, how would it fold itself to match the shape of the data? In this scene we watch a self-organizing map...a simple unsupervised neural model...learn the shape of a two-dimensional dataset arranged in a spiral arm. On top of this, we lay down a square grid of neurons whose weights live in the same plane. At the start, this grid is just a flat net floating across the cloud...it knows nothing about the structure underneath. Learning is a repeated game: pick a random data point, find the neuron whose weight is closest, and then nudge that neuron and its neighbours toward the point. Do this again and again, while slowly shrinking how far the neighbourhood influence spreads. #MachineLearning #ManifoldLearning #UnsupervisedLearning #NeuralMaps #GeometricML

Rangoli's are where folk art, religious practices and generative processes meet. Kind of.... The process for making these - exclusively by women and girls in front of their houses - is pretty much entirely procedural. The design on the right is a space-filling curve. These are from a Rangoli pattern book that I picked up in India more than 15 years ago. I have a dozen of these books and their print quality is gorgeous, perhaps riso'd.

Recently I've been pretty obsessed with terminal interfaces & ANSI art (as we're building one for @nft_xbt) Look at these beauties 🧵⏬ Starting with MapSCII, a world map renderer for CLI (github.com/rastapasta/map…)

hey, I made the Dither App 🪄 You can try on : lomz.net/ditherApp.html Dither is a web-based application that allows users to apply various dithering filters and color palettes to their images.

we’ll talk about this later, but for now, here are some sketches for the visual identity of THE OLD MAN 🌿

@Kelvin_Koding gawd those textures

Long time no see! How are you folks?

@loackme_ that's a trip

#GENUARY2025 PROMPTS ARE READY!! GENUARY is an artificially generated month of time where we build code that makes beautiful things. It’s happening during the month of January 2025, and everybody is invited! #generative #genartclub

This one almost slipped by—but it deserves all the love! @zolfaqqari's xovarnaq!✨ — I want viewers that engage with the art to feel as though the artist has devoted attention and care to each individual one. OE on @Base, open till March 3rd |🔗👇 #1 minted by @FluffheadChaser
