dazzlegen is a pattern generator. It can be used to generate unique, semi-random, glyph like patterns that can be used alone or as a source for other creative processes.

dazzlegen works by recursively generating noise within a grid system, each layer affecting the offset of the next.
In my own art I’ve used it extensively to generate interesting maps and sources of randomization. It started as a process patterns to be used in creating small prototype cloaks, but it quickly became a much more flexible and useful tool for other art I was working on. I’m currently working on some tools to sonify these patterns as well.
