Infinite Bloom is a study of translating the common practices and processes of programming software into a work of art. The piece uses a simple recursive formula to continuously draw the infinite branches. Infinite Bloom continuously draws smaller and smaller circles along six arced paths. Along the path the piece calculates a probability, the probability of creating a new branch. Recursively, it continues this logic of drawing a circle and checking if it has the chance to draw a new branch off that circle, and continuous to do so infinitely. This generative art breathes itself into life in new and different ways every time it is run. This is an interdisciplinary artwork between mathematics, arts and computers.
