Wow, found this very beautiful and touching Sacred Geometry video by Pablo Toches:
Very beautiful, love the style and atmosphere this creates with the simple but effective geometry, the soundtrack fits perfectly too. Make sure to watch in Full HD. This caused some kind of transformation to happen within myself, it is always very mystical to experience this kind of effect that sacred geometry can have on people experiencing it.
Here is a little something I made to showcase the new features in GeoKone.NET 0.98.02, mainly the mouse/touch input. It turned out to this demoscene style presentation with blasting trance music by my friend Hystereo Psychovsky. Enjoy and watch in 1080p!
Mouse input! Yes, finally GeoKone.NET supports mouse/touch input for the following adjustments:
Move Formation
Scale Formation
Rotate Formation
GeoKone NET 0.98.02 – The Action Toolbar On The Left For Selecting Mouse Adjust Mode For Primary Button
The new Input Adjust Toolbar can be used to Select The Action that the First Mouse Button is bound to adjust. The second mouse buttonalways moves the formation. This allows you to move the formation around, while easily rotating and scaling the formation also.
You can also use the keyboard shortcuts 1, 2 and 3 to select the active toolbar action.
This is a Game Changer :) As Moving/Rotating/Scaling the formations with the mouse allows much more natural expression than before was possible. This also enables almost animation like scaling and rotation effects to be found while exploring geometry that creates interference at different rotation and radius points.
Mouse Input Allows Much More Natural Placement .. Who would have thought about that? :)
Contains also bunch of bug fixes and usability improvements, thanks for people who have reported any bugs or feature requests! :) Check out full ChangeLog for more details.
Creating Sacred Geometry lets us Tap Into Our Own Consciousness and See How It Works. These Rules are Universal, can be found in Nature Everywhere and by Creating Them Inside Our Heads, we are Creating New Connections In Our Brain Cells that let us See Things In A New Way!
Create Geometry!
Just a Quick Update on What is Happening with GeoKone.NET. I am in the progress of launching the Lander Pages that will tell the users more easily what GeoKone is doing and show examples of what can be done with GeoKone.
Now that Points (circles drawn at each vertex point of a formation) support Transparency properly too, the following images can be created:
Hexagon Grid Forming
Circle Fractals :: Touching The Surface What Can Be Achieved With GeoKone
Viewing The Very Core Of Things .. With GeoKone You Can Create Amazing Abstract Art
Looking At The Detail Of This Formation
Sometimes when I use GeoKone, it feels like the Geometry has gained awareness of itself, like there is life in the formations, or that by observing the Geometry, I am actually observing myself in action ..
Ok, back to working on GeoKone, here was couple of recent images I created yesterday, all of them are created from the same basic set, copied and formatted around, always saving the scene as separate scene when finding a nice formation, then continuing replication / modification from that scene. Select All and Copy is Powerful!
Also, check out my Tumblr Page for more Art Created With GeoKone!
Check out this excellent animated & narrated primer video about one of the essential Sacred Geometry formations, the Flower Of Life:
Excellent stuff, both in stylistic expression and the depth of knowledge put into this 10 minute piece.
I also recommend viewing the episode about Sacred Geometry (or Math Of God as they’ve titled it):
It’s really amazing what knowledge we have these days in the reach of our fingertips, this kinda of information used to be highly classified and only known by the very elite of ancient societies. Thanks to Spirit Science for making this information available to us in this modern day package! :)
GeoKone is an Interactive Sacred Geometry Generator that runs in your browser. With GeoKone you can Generate, Copy, Modify different Recursive Geometrical Formations that are based on Natural Constants like the Golden Ratio. All parameters of the geometry are assignable by the user. You can save your creations either as PNG Images or Export as JSON/Text Parameter Data, suitable to be Imported into GeoKone and edited later. GeoKone uses Processing.JS.

This update brings Improved Usability, More Stability and New Features:
Undo: Last 3 Steps Are Undoable.
Keyboard shortcut: ‘v’
Very basic functionality for now, still need to tweak and optimize
Copy Formation along vertex points of currently selected Formation:
Keyboard shortcut ‘.’ (dot)
This allows you to copy the currently selected Polyform and place it along the outer points of the current polyform, allowing much easier copying of formations and creation of totally new formations.
Exporting & Importing Scenes as JSON/Text
Copy & Paste the current Scene as Textual Data. This allows you to save your scenes locally to your computer and Import later to continue editing.
Importing & Exporting currently works by you Copying and Pasting the scene text into/from GeoKone.
Expect more improvements on this in upcoming versions. In the future it will be possible to Integrate these GeoKone scenes into other programs, through a small library that will draw GeoKone scenes with OpenGL! :) This could bring a whole new world of possibilities.
GeoKone 0.96 Screenshot!
Improved Usability
Copying, Joggling and moving Formations around works now better and is more accurate.
Performance might be a bit slower though, but I will continue optimizing the code and release more often.
More Stylished Looks
More polished look for the parameter page (although the new Safari has some issues drawing this, seems to affect Mac Os X Lion version only)
Shortcut Buttons
Shortcut buttons for most used features, currently: Randomize, Save Image, Export Scene
Keyboard Shortcut Map
Help/Keyboard Shortcuts: See more easily what different keyboard buttons do!
Keyboard Shortcuts!
Note: Login, Saving & Loading Scenes to the server is still disabled, as the combination of Python+Django+mod_wsgi+Apache seems to be a bit challenging setup to push live. I am seriously considering rewriting the whole server side with Node.JS, but this will take some time. Hopefully I will get the current server implementation working in the upcoming days.
And as with previous releases, GeoKone is still in Beta, so everything doesn’t always work as expected.
Also, I decided to postpone the Chakana HyperController feature into an OpenGL version of GeoKone, as it’s usability is not yet up to the standards I want and Javascript/HTML5 performance is still an issue, not really possible to run 30 FPS without OpenGL.
My view on what mainstream television is currently:
(Finnish)
Mainstream TV is a way of transmitting Visual Programming for People. Locking Us in front of the strangely pulsating screens, letting our brains fall into sleep and succumb into the mind numbing pleasureness of watching the latest episode of the current blockbuster series. Keeping us sedated, relaxed in our chairs, peaceful.
TV Programming
Enter: Tainment, which keeps us in our current place. How many hours of human development has been wasted by staring into these hypnotizing devices ? How much more richer our lives could be if we were not kept back by the imposed world views of the Mass Media Providers ?
We are being programmed by the TV all the time. We think characters in TV series are Real, we talk about them like they are our Friends. “Hey, did you hear what happened to Joey in the last episode of Friends ? Wasn’t that crazy?! Oh man, That Joey guy!”. We talk about Imaginery People like they are real, something tangible. Isn’t this classed as psychotic behavior by some ? Are we living in a Dream? In a Fantasy ? And if we are, who are we allowing to Create that Fantasy ? You .. or those who control the mass media ?
Want your kid to become a Slave to the Caffeine filled, sugary cola drinks ? Want your kid to think that dressing up like Britney Spears is something to be wanted in Life ? Want your kids heroes to be sucking up to Big Companies that continue raping our Planet for Profit. Then do nothing, let your kids get their world views from the mainstream media, and watch how our society transforms slowly into a land filled with Shopping Centre Temples, where Money, Image, Ego and Golden Bling Bling are worshipped and where everyone is a Slave to the System they have Built.
And From The Heavens God Passed Down Hundreds of Dollars, And Oh Joy, It Was Good
The One God we worship now, Money, goes Beyond Everything. Morals, Empathy, Feelings and almost everything can be surpassed by the Greed For Money. We have iMagiNated and Created This One Monoteistic Earthly God, Money, by worshipping it everywhere, putting our I-Magi-Nations into it.
Through Us and Our Lust For Money & Power, Power Over Other Men, we Continue To Support this System (US:THEM).
What We Imagine
We Create
Imagine If You Could Imagine All That Ever Existed
Funny how Easy it Is, but That’s It. When We Imagine Constant Fear and Doubt for the Future, We Create Constant Fear and Doubt.
Currently we live in a System (Us, Them) that Encourages this kind of IMagiNation.
But I Thought Slavery Did Not Exist!
We have to first Break The System, In Order to Evolve. Currently, Mass Media, Movies, CDs, Advertising, Religions, Governments, they all push down the idea of Constant Fear. Fear of the War. Fear that There Is Not Enough for Everyone. That only those who Prove themselves in the Money Game are allocated Resources. Limiting our natural way to Evolve. Limiting Free Copying of Digital Material. Limiting with Copyrights, Patents, Deals, Social Numbers, Rules, Limitations and ultimately Neural Programmings that control everything we do in life.
WHAT? THERE IS _******* ?
When we break free from that limiting system, we see how things really are. So, if you still want to keep on watching TV, go ahead. But know that it is designed to keep us Passive Consumers, whose behaviour is being modified all the time into a Easily Controlled Group Model, resembling that of Frightened Sheep, kept in a passive mode by filling it’s body with highly sedative and Feelings – blocking chemicals.
Primal Sacred Geometry .. Being Taken Over By Someone. (Yeah, They Know About Power of Sacred Geometry)
Pushing down passivating cow milk & sugary poison drinks, dictating what News we should beLIEve and what products to buy. Even going So Far as Creating these Fake and Illusionist Reflections of What is Currently Happening in our World, called Movies &TV Series, where people are being told that “THIS IS A MOVIE, THIS IS NOT REAL”.
Then Creating Movies Out OfReal Things, making us beLIEve that This Event Only Happens In Movies, and not In Real Life.
Ultimately, programming our Minds to tell us “THIS IS NOT REAL”, which leads to us Denying that Event from being Created, because we cannot I-Magi-Ne it.
Making us Think that what you see, may not be Real. It may be Unreal. That something you experience, cannot Exists at all. So Far have we Gone in Experiencing Total Disconnection From The True Nature of Our Universe and Creating this big Illusion of Dis-Connectivity. But It Is Time To Move On. To REvolve, Evolve and Ultimately just Love.
What Will Lead Us To This? It’s Simple:
Do Not Let Any External Source To Tell You What You Can iMagiNe!
This Way, We will automatically start behaving as It Is Natural For Us, in Respect With Nature, and with Respect to Each Others. As we start acting on our Highest Behalf, we are at the same time assisting others to walk their paths following their true Passion. If we Hide Our Powers, We Will Not Reflect the True Nature of Our Selves, and We Will Stay Enslaved as Anonymous Work Drones.
We Have So Long Been Programmed Into Thinking that we do not have enough, that we are not enough, that we need to buy these sunglasses to look cool, to wear these shirts, to listen to this music and to BeLieVe in these Gods and Masters, for they Know The Secret to Life and are So, Oh So, Sacred and Holy! But, We All Have The Secret Within All Of Us, all we have to do is To Look Within, to Find It ! :)
It is a realtime, compact 8-bit style audiovisualizer that has it’s own virtual machine and language to input code into. It can produce very nice demoeffects using only a minimal set of commands, check out the example video:
How to get the source code up and running on Mac Os X (tested w/ 10.6) ?
* Download and install XCode if you already haven’t done this)
Command from the terminal to install the SDL development framework.
Grab the sources for Ibniz, untar, cd, and run make to compile.

I noticed that I have to modify the getticks() function in ui_sdl.c in order to get usable framerates:
Dividing by three seems to do the trick, without it the frames start skipping too much for some reason.
I hope to integrate GeoKone scene loading into this, that would be very cool as all the GeoKone formations can be expressed in 1-2 lines of code and with a very simple core engine that reads the data.
I will be hacking on this thing for a while. Thanks Viznut for this great christmas toy :)
