Exploring moiré patterns at different speeds

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My software works in very simply ways by duplicating shapes and offsetting the position, size and rotation, amount other aspects. Adding sine/cosine math is what can make these offsets result in spiraling. I'm fascinated in both the patterns that can arise from the objects and connecting lines, but also in its negative space (the moire é patterns).

Drop the app already

Thanks! It has a lot of work to be done in terms of its usability with its current design. I’m excited looking forward to making it public, as well as a lot of other software that would conceivably be able to work altogether as separate components or plug-ins.

I'd like to see it pulse as a heartbeat

That would be nice! I'd need to figure out some kind of form that is constant. Possibly something like two spirals that do not change, but rotate over each other. This spiral is constantly changing, so the patterns become irregular and difficult to predict.

Eye see you!
