#Meander animations full#
Hodgin has promised a full write-up of the project I’ll link to it when he publishes it.Ĭoincidentally, while I was writing this post I got an email from a reader about an audiovisual installation called Meandering River that displayed “real-time visuals generated by an algorithm and music composed by an A.I.” You can check some of the generated maps out on Twitter or on Instagram, including some prototypes and animations ( this one is my favorite). The map is then weathered and rendered in the style of old US Army Corp of Engineers maps from the 1930s and 40s. With over one hundred thousand videos with full English-Chinese subtitles, a built-in dictionary, pronunciation challenges and more, its no wonder that. Borrowing the aesthetic of these maps, interactive artist & engineer Robert Hodgin wrote some software called Meander to generate meander maps for fictional rivers.įrom an input curve, the terrain, land plots, side roads, highways, marsh land and mountain peaks are generated and prominent features are named.
I have written previously about cartographer Harold Fisk’s wonderful meander maps of the Mississippi River produced for the Army Corps of Engineers.
