I am currently working on several projects:

• rsgestalt.js — A personal JavaScript library used for parametric drawing and computational animation. It must be noted that while rsgetalt.js is used to create work and is an art project, I do not consider it to be a work of art in and of itself. It is a series of code which I have written to formalize a visual language to generate still and moving drawn images. Notes and examples of the capabilities of the program can be found in the links below. Expansion is ongoing, and current documentation (from early 2020) may not fully express the potential of the program.
  • colors
    • color visualization
    • color functions
  • structures
    • circles and polygons
    • circle variations
    • square variations
    • polychromatic polygons
    • simple spirals
    • complex spirals and curves
    • miscellaneous
  • arrangements
    • packing shapes within other shapes
  • movements

• rsgrammar.js — A personal JavaScript library used for generative writing — both narrative and poetry. Similar to rsgestalt, but with using words.
  • A precursor to rsgrammar.js was VenusBot2015, a generative phrase twitterbot.

• Metre — A system for creating structural animations that considers the size, shape, color, and coordinates of objects and links these properties to movement.
• Primer — animation series, 36-54 short computational animations using Metre.
• Brushstroke — An animated drawing application…
• Equilibrium — An illustrated chapbook/zine collection (8 issues).
• Collapse and Thrive — animated short film (experimental, collage animation)
• Parameters — a set of essays that critically addresses fundamental issues surrounding aesthetics and art theory especially as it concerns abstraction and meaning
• Variant Forms  — animation series, 36-54 short computational animations. See assets for the project here and here.
• Agate Models of the Universe  — animation series, 36-54 short experimental animations
