Dust Drawings

Programmed in P5 for JavaScript.

Website developed with HTML/CSS.

Completed in 2020 for MICA Drawing: Tradition and Innovation with Sam Lacombe.

Introduction

  An interactive, generative drawing program that simulates Brownian Motion. Users create drawings that are always imperfect, incomplete, and impermanent.

Process

  Drawing inspiration from Daoism, Dust Drawings aims to explore perfection, completion, and permanence. By simulating Brownian Motion, users are confronted with the chance to interact with a phenomenon not unlike its real life counterpart.
