Geometry in Motion
A poetic blend of geometry and Bauhaus-inspired textures, echoing a timeless artistic experiment.
Timeless Geometry and Texture
Imagine discovering an old notebook from a mathematician and Bauhaus enthusiast, filled with experimental oscillatory forms. This project, "Backward Oscillations," brings this imaginary archive to life through generative art.
Geometric Explorations
At the heart of the piece lies a geometric figure—a polygon or star—whose sides are composed of a random number of points. These points are used as the foundation for creating intricate, rotating shapes. The rotation amplifies the sense of dynamic movement while maintaining an underlying order.
The Pencil Effect
To achieve the appearance of hand-drawn illustrations, a fine spray of pixelated particles simulates the texture of pencil strokes. The granularity effect gives the impression of aged, archived drawings, as though the artwork was retrieved from a secret Bauhaus laboratory.
Mixing dynamic texts and paper effect
Paper Aging Effects
The background further enhances the archival illusion with different effects simulating the wear and tear of old paper. The textures evoke a sense of time, giving each piece a unique character.
A Symphony of Granularity
The project includes 100 distinct levels of granularity in the dispersion of points, providing subtle but impactful variations. These fine details invite viewers to explore the intricate patterns closely.
Generative Dynamics
This project is entirely coded in p5.js, blending randomness with controlled parameters. Each mint generates a unique variation, ensuring no two pieces are identical. It’s a celebration of code, design, and the beauty of chance.
