Generative Collaging

Generative Collaging by Martin Lukas Ostachowski

Returning to collage-making, but with a new approach: I’m currently exploring the use of code to create seed-based collages from images. My goal is to fragment and reposition parts of an image in a way that allows me to reconstruct the collage later and potentially apply the process to videos. Early tests have been quite […]

Generative Word Clouds

Generative Word Clouds - MLOdotArt

Having primarily worked with physical tiles based on painted elements, drawings, and stamp marks, this animation takes a different approach by translating word densities into shades to form cloudscapes. For this study, I used the word ‘Cloud,’ but I already have a few ideas for how I can expand on this script in future iterations. […]

Parameterizing Font Clouds

Parameterizing Font Clouds

One often overlooked aspect of generative art is parameterizing the algorithm to allow control over the final output. While I’m unsure how others approach this, I spend a considerable amount of time fine-tuning parameters to “weatherproof” the algorithm within a specific range of desired outcomes. In this example, I experimented with a font script, adjusting […]

Studio View Cloud Collage

Studio View Cloud Collage

Since moving to the new studio, I’ve taken photos and videos daily. After experimenting with sketches last week, I’ve found myself enjoying digital collaging again. Here’s a collage of some recent views from the studio. ☁️💙☁️💙☁️💙☁️ Related X post (Nov 13th, 2024) / Instagram post (Nov 13th, 2024).

Connecting Cloud Collage

Cloud Connection Sketch

Variety is the spice of life! To clear my head, I’ve been experimenting with some recent generative outputs of connecting clouds and revisiting collage work—it’s been a while! You can peek into my attempts to distract myself and return to long-term projects with a refreshed mind in my art journal. How do you break up […]
