The Iterations collection was most recently shared on September 28, 2024 at Studio 2 + U at Code Craft, a “pop-up art show, creative coding meeting” organized by Seattle Creative Code.

Iterations represents a collection of pieces all based on the “Hydra” algorithm, initially authored in Processing and rendered as a static series of images for pen plotting.  When rendered in ink, a complete Hydra – 7×7 set is represented by 49 individual prints, each print a snapshot in time as the focal node moves from point to point. The Hydra Iterations seen today are authored in the Unity game engine, anchored by the Hydra Series – 7×7: Complete Cycle projected on the main wall. In the Complete Cycle, the focal node moves randomly across the grid until each node has been visited just once, a nearly 13 minute experience. Other pieces in the collection explore how the personality of the Hydra evolves through color, grid variation, and display medium.
