Hundreds of lines move and change their inclination without ever overlapping and only occasionally remaining vertical. The additional perceived movements are generated by the difficulty of completely eliminating the aliasing of almost vertical lines. Small rescaling of the frames makes the configurations and their transformations even more elaborate. 

The movements of all lines and the rescaling of the frames are determined by eight parameters with decimal values. The cycles that are generated can therefore have quite long durations.

Viewing in fullscreen mode and landscape orientation is recommended.
The algorithm was implemented in p5.js without using shaders.

Almost Vertical Lines #1

A polyline of four segments rotates around a moving center, progressively changing its configuration. The center of rotation moves from a random point at the top left and descends following a serpentine path. The changes are made by rotating the first segment around the center and subsequent segments around the end vertex of the previous one. A new polyline is added at each frame, and all others are shifted along the path.

The lengths of the four segments and their rotation speeds are defined randomly at the beginning and are different for each mint. 

The color palettes are defined algorithmically from the randomly chosen background color. The colors of the polylines are then derived from the opposite ones in the color wheel, lightening the initial ones to white and darkening the final ones.

Through a click or tap, you can jump to a different moment in the virtually infinite evolution of the waves.

Serpentine epicycles #1

Generator of virtually infinite drawings based on epicyclic motions. 
 
A polyline of three or more segments rotates around a predefined center, progressively changing its configuration. The center of rotation is located at the top outside the display area. The changes are made by rotating the first segment around the center and subsequent segments around the end vertex of the previous one. The segments from the second onward are drawn at each frame, and all traces are then moved down.

Depending on the lengths of the segments and the individual rotation speeds, the drawings can repeat in the same exact way after a few minutes or after very many years.

With a click or tap, you can increase/decrease the scrolling speed.

Endless Drawing #77

Starting from the first pixel at the top left, proceeding to the right, and then in the following rows of pixels:
- at frame 1, white dots are drawn all (every 1 pixel)
- at frame 2, white dots are drawn every 2 pixels
- at frame 3, white dots are drawn every 3 pixels
- ...

Instructions:
- click or tap -> setting an interval to restart pixel count cyclically
- fullscreen -> optimal enjoyment

PS: The name "frameCount" comes from the Processing variable that contains the frame number to be drawn.

Endless Drawing

Diviso4 (divided by 4) is an image generator created to produce completely unpredictable complex shapes and color combinations each time. The core idea was conceived in 1988 (see artist's website) and was resumed in May 2021. The latest version works on the hue, saturation, and lightness of 1024x1024 points and has further simplified rules. A square is colored at random and divided into four parts. Each part can undergo a random color transformation between: (1) acquisition of an adjacent color and (2) random variation of color components. The subdivision and changes are applied recursively down to the single point. | Image generated on 2021-06-09T05:14:08Z and scaled to 4096x4096 pixels w/o interpolation | Antonio Belluscio @livinbits
