So basically, after watching the lecture about art and randomness, I wanted to create something chaotic. It does seem as if it doesn’t make sense and everything is random, while in reality, everything is moving using a calculated noise that makes a grey-scale artwork.
Literally, anyone who would say “oh it’s random stuff that doesn’t make sense” I will totally tell him: yes it is. Art sometimes never makes sense and has no purpose other than being chaotic. But, every time you run the code, you will get a totally different output, a different set of squares, different numbers, and of course, different offsets. And there is actually a chance to fill out the screen fully with the squares.
To create the noisy squares that appear like segments I used the noise function.
for(let i =0; i < 500; i+=50){
for(let j =0; j < 500; j+=50){
n = noise( (i+xOffset)*0.005, (j*yOffset)*0.005);
n*=j;
rect(n, j, 20,20);
}
The noise function tries to create randomness in a way that is connected to the randomness that was generated before and after. So as I said, all this nonsense is literally structured and calculated.
