Sootoid: Generative Art Drawing by Flame of Candle

Abstract

Sootoid is a symphonic art created by collaboration between human, computer and flame of candle. While the major generative art pictures are drawn in a computer display, Sootoid creates a generative art drawing on a linen canvas by candle soot. Movement of candle is controlled by pre-programmed algorithm, making airflow and flickering of candle flame each time it moves to create unique soot line and color.
