[NetBehaviour] Motion Study 78

[Paul Hertz]

Glad you like the work, Alan. I'm not sure what QMC refers to. Quantum
Monte Carlo?

Do you have an account on GitHub? The Processing code is there and updated
pretty much daily. It won't be public until I have the development
finished, but I can share it with anyone who has a GitHub account before it
goes public.

At the moment I am doing pretty elementary stuff, as far as wave behaviors
go. The animation basically arises from phase shifting and phase
cancellation. Each of the eight waves in the example on Vimeo controls the
blending of a color. Colors are sometimes selected so that when the waves
that carry them are out of phase, the blend is a neutral gray (i.e., they
are complementary, in the math of RGB). The result is that colors appear
and disappear. Sometimes I am very calculating with each wave and color
(each operator), but I also have code to remix colors, phases, and
frequencies.

There are several next steps: using wavelets instead of waves, using
recorded audio, and creating the next level of animation that interpolates
one state of operators to another state of operators.

cheers,

-- Paul
