HashiConf 2018 Generative Art

A generative art installation for HashiConf 2018 that generates one-of-a-kind designs based on one of the six HashiCorp products and then plots that design using an AxiDraw plotter.

Generating SVGs

SVGs are generated using Processing. Opening and running hashiconf/hashiconf.pde will create an svg with a seed of 0. This is useful for testing the script.

The Make target make generate will generate an svg from the commandline seeded with the current time. This requires the Processing CLI toolset to be installed.

Plotting SVGs

SVGs are plotted using the AxiDraw v3 CLI toolset. The Make target make plot will tell the AxiDraw to plot the latest SVG generated from make generate (this is done using an expected filename convention).

⚠️ The AxiDraw CLI toolset (AxiCli) is not yet publically available. If you own an AxiDraw and would like to run this project, contact Evil Mad Scientist to get this prerelease software. If you have this software already, drop a copy in the root of this repo and everything will work. Refer to the .gitignore file if you are unsure what files to put where.
