My kids thought my work would be much improved if I just included their faces. Who am I to argue?
In this piece, as the particles collide they transfer bitmap data from a picture of my daughter to another bitmapdata object.
When I look closely, I'm reminded of pointillism --not so much in the color theory, but in the little points.

Particle rings with blurry traces
I'm having a lot of fun with this project. Here, I've given the particles curved paths, instead of straight paths. Also, I'm starting to play with the blur filter.

Speaking on The Art and Science of Particles at FITC SF
As the date approaches, my excitement grows for the FITC San Francisco conference. I'm trying to play it cool, and not get all giddy. But I just can't help it. Flash conferences are special treats for me, and this one is right here in my town. I won't have to travel!
The speaker list is amazing! Ben Fry, Yugo Nakamura, and so many other bright lights! It humbles me, to see my own name in that company. It's also inspiring me, pushing me to explore the edges of my creativity and to expand those edges. I may even include some music.

The Art and Science of Particles
Particles. They come in all sizes and shapes. They aggregate into complex structures. We ourselves are made of them, even as we exist as particles in a larger system. Particles can form simple swarms with simple behaviours. They can exist in a complex system with simple rules, generating complex behaviours. They can be active individuals and steadfast obstacles. They can wear disguises, and trick us into thinking they are something else.
Time: 10:00am
Ever exploring the intersection of art and science, Kristin Henry lives in both worlds. In this session, Kristin will share her experiments with particles, graphs and the ideas behind them, including generative art inspired by chemistry and artistic rendering of the ip-addresses of spammers.
