emily bernier took a small workshop to help us reflect the last week.

while speaking with bill kusters, i realized a few things (see on feeling uncomfortable, and why that’s a good thing).


for painting-algorithms_experiments-log, it was stupid to try and do everything on the shader. painting requires memory, because you’re seeing the image being made in time.

however, i wonder what would a painting look like if it had no memory of the previous stroke?

so, i’m better off trying to use some kind of cpu-computing to retain memory; instead of trying to ping-pong.

also, jagi, mentioned that cpu-computing is still taking place (because i get all the uniforms like resolution, time, et-cetera).


next, it’s (perhaps) wiser to block days of the week. for example:

  • small project days hack things together post outcome.
  • big project day work on a sustained enquiry post commit.
  • learning day work through a course or lecture post notes.

while making time to attend sessions too.
