Inspiration:
For this project I was inspired by old TV static. Growing up I always wondered about the cause of old TV static. Through intro to Interactive media I was introduced to Perlin noise and the power of computers to produce random like graphics that seem to morph and change organically.
Concept:
In this project I attempted to recreate a noise-like graphic display that mimics a TV static but without using the NOISE() function. The piece displays moving black rectangles and switch to random colours once the the user clicks the mouse. The more frequent the clicks are, the more chaotic and static like design is.
Technicalities:
I used some of the code from the bouncing ball code from class. However, the trick was to remove the background which removes the clean cut aspect of the piece and allows the audience to see everything about the rectangles throughout time.
