Sometimes, I wish I could see things as though I had never seen them before.
SINE is a comprehensive exploration of one ostensibly simple function - sinθ: distorted, mangled, modulated, folded, blended and employed in unconventional ways to generate layers of textured formations that are not evidently organic or geometric. When agitated with feedback, the sinusoidal wave exhibits complex characteristics in a narrow-band region of interest between periodic symmetry and randomness. The algorithm persists with a tendency to approach a limit between these states for compelling features and visual tension. Non-sinusoidal embellishments are deliberately avoided for an unadulterated expression of the functions manifestations, highlighting the variety that emerges from its repetitive manipulation.
Beauty of the elementary can be inconspicuous. The outputs represent a discovery and accentuation of what is latent in the ubiquitous. Cracks in weathered walls, the depth of colour in rusted metal, undulations on the surface of rocks, irregularities of splintered wood or the uneven discolouration of an old shirt. Perhaps the yearning to be awed is served by a scrutiny of this trigonometric function, a specimen of the little things that have infinitely complex details, but are seldom appreciated.
