Kevin Thies – Looking Outwards 6

“Fireworks” by Lane Lawly, is an interesting piece, partially out of the composition. and partially because on its page, there’s a github link to the source code. I definitely do appreciate the piece for its composition, there’s a good mix of color and the hierarchy’s certainly something to look at; the shapes are arranged in a dynamic fashion, but it’s not often that you see an open-source artwork.
Looking at the source code, it looks like it’s made with Processing, which is similar with the P5js we’re working with currently. In fact, I can see where it uses random floats and uses those to make “Crackers”.
Looking at his other works, Lane makes a lot of art that resembles tree-like structures. I likely wouldn’t be able to see it in the code if I looked for it, but I bargain that it’s a choice in how the numbers are positioned and iterated on.
