A few quick sketches. I am still learning the possibilities of Processing for doing simple and quick sketches. There are a few projects I want to use this in but, having no background in computers, it takes awhile to get my head around the electronic palette – objects, arrays, classes and such.
This here is a very quick experiment where I composed a palette with 5000 particles moving around semi-randomly in 3D space with their color subtly affected by the movement in the 3D-space (the z-axis). Instead of doing anything more fancy, the aim here was merely to experiment with the possibilities of this and to prove the concept,. Even this might look a bit more complex, in fact, I actually only used rectangles and ellipses to compose these images. I let the program run for a few hours and see what comes of it.
