Distorsion Movement
A grid of shapes, bent by math, redrawn 60 times a second
Overview
Distorsion Movement draws a grid of shapes and bends it with math. Pick from a dozen shapes, 20 distortions and 20 palettes, and it redraws thousands of shapes at 60fps while you change the settings. You can save a frame as a PNG, record an animated GIF, or keep the whole scene in a YAML file.
Why I built this
After a generative art exhibition in Nantes, I wondered if I could reproduce some of the simpler pieces. I kept making it more complex, mostly because watching it move is hypnotic.
