Processing Research

Some attempts to make grass blowing in the wind yielded interesting results and a little confusion/bewilderment/frustration. Pretty normal.

I found some examples that may help:
3D Grass

Swirling Noise

Trees not Grass

Fluid Dynamics

Pollen Sand Storm

WindChimes Project

Last weekend on a long drive I willed a new idea into existence. I'll try to make a high-tech version of some wind chimes. The project should be more ambient than very literal, both visual and auditory. I'd like to say that the final piece should help connect someone to the outdoors even when they must be inside. It might be more thought provoking to do that through a medium that seems so opposite, so disconnected from nature, and that I like very much.

We'll see how it goes, what form it takes, and if it's one thing or many, separate or interconnected.
