Cacheflowe (Justin Gitlin)

Facets 888v is a real-time generative artwork - a software application that runs indefinitely and creates an ever-shifting mosaic pattern via an array of layout and motion algorithms. The title is a reference to the 888 discrete shapes that create the moving mosaic and the Voronoi pattern created by a novel graphics programming technique. These flat, high-contrast and slow-moving patterns are designed to harmonize with the dimensional surfaces of the Kittredge building.
