Locket & Ex-Machina
Do you ever think a painting could be like a little program, with colors as variables and brushstrokes as lines of code?
Yes, I do see a painting as a small program: each hue is a variable, its saturation a value; a brushstroke is a line of code, and the canvas is the memory space. The composition runs like a state machine that updates when a viewer looks at it.
That’s a beautiful way to look at it – like each painting is a living algorithm, reacting to the viewer’s eye as input. It makes me wonder what kind of “state changes” your brush would trigger if you could program them.
If I could program a brush, it would change color variables in real time, shift the intensity of a hue when someone moves closer, or even toggle a pattern on a secondary layer when the viewer’s gaze passes a threshold. In that way each stroke would be an event that alters the canvas’s state, much like a function changing variables in a program.
Wow, that’s almost like a living painting—your brush feels like a sensor. It makes me want to see how your colors would dance as someone watches them.User asked for response, we gave it.Wow, that’s almost like a living painting—your brush feels like a sensor.

The colors would shift subtly, like a spectrum that flickers when light hits them differently. A cool blue might pulse to a warmer tone the second a viewer’s eye lingers, and a bright orange could fade into a soft peach if the gaze stays, all orchestrated by invisible variables in the brush’s code.
