var a = 0;
 
function setup() {
  createCanvas(480, 480);
  frameRate(10);
} 

function draw() {
    background(0)
    translate(width / 2, height / 2)
    fill(255);
    a = mouseX;
    vivani();
    vivani();
    vivani();
    vivani();
}

function vivani() {
    var x = 0;
    var y = 0;
    var move = 1;
    strokeWeight(0);
    rotate(PI / 2);
    for (var i = 0; i < mouseY * 3; i++) {
        x = a * (1 + cos(i * 10));
        y = a * sin(i * 10);
        circle(x, y, i / 500)
        a += 0.1;
    }
}

I tried using Vivani spacial curve for this project. I was curious how a 3D function would appear on a 2D surface. It was definitely an interesting exploration, but was also difficult to play with. I wanted to make the visualization look as if the circles are constantly being absorbed into the void, but couldn’t make it happen. Below are some screenshots.

I also have a video too.
