Pattern-Based Animation Channel Light is a project that sits at the intersections of Complex Systems, Crystallography, Animation, and Music. In order to explore the common patterns of the visual arts, science, and music we built a program (Visual-Synthesizer) that utilizes the spatial relationships as expressed in crystallography, pattern and growth language of complex systems, and interactive strengths of music composition. The primary focus of this project is not to create a mathematics visualization program or yet another music sequencer, but to create a process that logically and artistically bridges these disciplines. The Channel Light project maps the common language of patterns inside an interactive and creative environment.
