Concept
I wanted to create a lines and circles that moved together, similar to one of Memo Akten’s art pieces. Once I created the basic shapes and movement, I added to the aesthetic by making the sketch resemble flowers in a field.
Code Snippet
let elapsedTime = millis() - startTime; // adjust speed using lerp over time if (elapsedTime < 10000) { speedFactor = lerp(0.05, 0.5, elapsedTime / 10000); } else if (elapsedTime < 20000) { speedFactor = 0.5; } else { speedFactor = lerp(0.5, 0.05, (elapsedTime - 20000) / 10000); }
Embedded Sketch
Reflections
I struggled with making the petals for the flower, and I couldn’t get the petals to touch the circumference of flower. With more time, I would tweak the code and experiment more. I would also try to achieve more interesting/complex visual effects, as Memo Akten’s works are very flashy and colourful.
