NEBELWALD #3

NEBELWALD is the first series of about 10 different tree/flower generative art works, which have come together over the last 10 years.

This project explores a minimalist approach to tree naturalism using a recursive algorithm and includes three traits: a density layer of fog, a measure of tree growth, and the softness of snowfall.

Artist notes:

Since I moved to Wandlitz, north of Berlin, in the middle of the "Naturpark Barnim" (https://www.barnim-naturpark.de/), in 2003,
I've done a lot of exploring nearby nature. In addition to the beautiful lake and heath landscapes, I fell in love with the wild acacia forests. These strange trees, sometimes more like huge wild grasses, grow so wildly into each other.

Once I experienced it in a dense fog, which was amazing! beautiful and mysterious at the same time. This has definitely inspired the NEBELWALD work series.

While playing around with different branching system code snippets, a more and more complex image composition came together. The final script for this project on fx(hash) was finally given more randomness for a wider range of different outputs and an additional random grain filter.
