Chaos-Game Bloom by Night, in Jade

861 points are moved at random by 3 transforms, each a turn, stretch and shift followed by a blend of soft variations, and every place a point lands is lit and tinted by the colour its transform carries; the light fades at 12.63 percent a frame and a logarithmic curve lets the faint threads show, while the transforms slowly turn so the flame unfolds.

Hearted by 1 person in the Gallery.

Good to know

  • The program Apophysis, a free flame editor released in 2001, started a community of flame artists who share their parameters as small text files, often called genomes.

In art

  • Because every flame is a handful of numbers, whole collections can be traded and remixed like musical scores, which is what the Apophysis and Electric Sheep communities do.

Made with Fractal flame.
