I have been creating some new sketches in Processing. This sketch combines basic lines, bezier curves and triangles in a number of different ways. It’s still procedural code (running in a linear loop, as oppossed to object oriented, which I haven’t had time to explore), so I slowed down the frameRate() to be more viewable. Not every frame is a winner, but some are keepers, at least in my book. You can download the source code and uncomment the saveFrames() function to render the images to your computer.

The focus of this site will continue to be on design and media arts. Join us as Sympathy for the Robots evolves, won’t you? World domination awaits…
