Order-Chaos-Noise-Signal: Breaking the Binary
Hasan’s lecture today was about The Magic Behind The Curtains, about the datasets and neural network models used in machine learning. One model which we’ve used so far is a Classification Model, used to train the machine to classify objects in the Teachable Machine software. In the world of machine learning technology, data points can…

What’s the original symbol for chaos?

Updating my Chaos/Order
I created this code inspired by some visual memories of my childhood in Mexico’s City. Growing up in this mega city, I always felt a chaotic vibe following an invisible order. The city’s markets are the best example of this.

Where do we go from here?
Though I have been using p5js for a while now, I really wanted to see what would happen if I limited myself to instructions of the session. I have added a “for loop” though! Alistair read out a wonderful piece by Hito Stereyl – refer here for more: https://befantastic.in/2020/10/22/a-sea-of-data/ The image in the essay was…

Order + Chaos = Magic
“when nothing else was possible, to do nothing was the last effective form of resistance, disorder was preferable to order,and the practical consequences of a refusal to cooperate were nearly always better than collaboration” (Arendt quoted by Weizman, p36).

(non)binary diaries
We are unwitting heirs of a long history of problematic binaries: from the go(o)d-(d)evil of premodernity to the oder-chaos of modernity. Problematic precisely because binaries feed into our double-optic apparatus and reinforce dual worlds. Reconciliation of retinal images does happen, but falls unfortunately in our visionary blind spot. Yet what is blind to two eyes…

It’s three dimensions, isn’t it?
Order or chaos? Who cares, as long as it’s having three dimensions… Generated using p5.js

Experiments
coded landscapes using p5.js Coding is really new to me but I found myself playing with p5.js everyday after the order chaos exercise. It is somewhat addicting, perhaps because its interactive and surprising when the method used is just trial and error.

C o d H i A n O g S
Created with p5.js Duality of order and chaos. Fluctuation in order as a sign of being alive. Doesn’t the need to regulate ourselves emerge from ‘disorder’? Is what we seek equilibrium or is it an endless loop?
-
The Chicken and the Egg
The idea and the code to realise it or to realise the code that generates the idea…. Today has reminded me of a passage that I read last night in the book Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake – the book is about how fungi connects the plant and animal worlds: “In all physical systems, energy…

MocktailofCode. D4.
Summarizing the first session about Tech that revolves around five words : Dataset | Training | Model | Test | Validate ‘Having’ a Dataset is foundation of our exploration here with AI enabled TechArt. Order and Chaos :I found this thing from my archives about order and chaos : Exploring p5.js : I was to…

On the Edge of Chaos
On the fourth day Hasan showed us the ‘magic behind the curtain’ in regards to the processes behind Machine Learning. He described machine learning as a way to get things done, from input to output but the way in which they do this is the magic. He then took us through the very basic workings…
-
Order Chaos PLAY
The idea of duality and trying to makes sense of the world through that lens has always felt limiting. It feels like it is set up for many ideas, possibilities and people falling through the cracks. The world feels beautiful as a blend, a balance and an integration. We aren’t just arms, legs, some blood…
-
Chaotic order
Inspired by Max Cooper’s Order from Chaos, I explored how to represent order in apparent chaos. In Order from Chaos, Max Cooper uses raindrop sounds to create a organic rhythm by some amount of beat matching. Similarly, I tried to position match randomly generated circles by fitting them into a grid of 40 x 40…

Chaos in the coding order
Computer language is one language that I would say is truly universal! No, not even English. And here you cannot have accents either. I have always found coding fun, relaxing and pleasurable and at the same time, quite chaotic. Chaotic because of the excessive use of curly brackets and semi-colons !! And the constant red-alerts…

mapping ‘order’ Green ‘chaos’
Through this project, I have tried to interpret the idea of ‘order’ in a local context and therefore I wanted to talk about how we need more trees, more greenery for the urban landscape of Karachi. Thinking about what it means to have technology like google maps and the possibilities we have at our disposal…

Code Chaos
Day 04 The process of working with code is particularly chaotic for a dyslexic mind. So, order vs chaos – is that battle in it. A freeway for thoughts coming in every direction, and full of accidents. Some happy accidents too. But mostly unrecognizable. Text and numbers making very little sense. Signal vs Noise…

A Sea of Data
Noise. Lines. Color patterns. According to leaked training manuals, one needs to apply all sorts of massively secret operations to produce these kinds of images. But let me tell you something. I will decrypt this image for you without any secret algorithm … And I will even teach you ho to do it for free.…

Orderism & Chaositry
Edge of chaos is what we call the point between chaos and order. In a way just how neuro networks function. Exploring the very moment between finished and unfinished art you might get stuck in the duality of creation and destruction. I I tried to play the role of order while letting the machine take…

Using code to create chaos and order
Using simple code that was given to us by thee mazing Hassan we were able to play with some code and translating it to something visual. We used our different concepts and recreated it with the same background to be able to put them together. We wanted to start from a complete chaos, which pictures…
