Maps of Life

Maps of Life is a generative cartographic experiment inspired by John Conway's Game of Life. The Game of Life is a zero-player game, its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input.

Maps of Life is a generative-player game, an algorithm that creates an initial random configuration and a collector that observes how the configuration evolves. Each mint produces a distinctly unique cartographic representation of an ideal town, with different color palettes, scales, and coordinates, an animation from its random birth to a stopped moment in time.

Maps of Life assumes that the built environment has a life of its own. And besides, only an automatic mind can name towns with Butterfly Names. Enjoy the view.


Interactivity:
Press LEFT and RIGHT arrows to speed-up or slow-down the evolution of the town.
Press "S" to save the current state to a PNG image.
If you want to change the resolution, just add "?res=XXX" to the end of the url.

(With these keys, you can possibly force the script to continue until its further completion. Could you get a deserted landscape?)

Brush that Music!

By Alejandro

Everyone who has looked into Enfantines’ code might have noticed that the tools I’ve used for the development of the project could be described as the very basics of generative art. This is not only because the collection has an educational purpose, but also as it aims at documenting my journey into a field which is new to me. In this article, I’ll briefly outline the concept behind Enfantines, and explore two of the tools I’ve used at length in it: brushes and music.
