In this project I wanted to make a somewhat random drawing machine that generates geometry based on rotation and random population. I liked the aggregation of triangles in this iteration and how the rotation made them look more circular/gear like.

I didn’t quite have an idea for what to do with this project at first, so I just started experimenting with the turtles and the mouse. Ultimately, I thought this was a pretty solid design that was fun to use.

For this project I wanted to explore how moving the mouse to different part of the canvas could create different distinct images from the intersection of a couple lines. As the mouse moves in the X direction, the Y direction lines are shifted vertically so that some go off the canvas or move up/down. This dynamic  movement makes the drawing full at times and have less lines in others.
