Slots
Algorithmic Illustration

Slots is a personal project exploring collisions and interceptions on a simple grid structure.

Written in Processing, the sketch runs on a set simple rules – a point moves horizontally across a grid. On each step it can stay in the same vertical slot, or shift up/down one slot. This is repeated for each vertical grid slot, and intersections of points are coloured based on the direction the point was moving in when the intersection occurred (up or down).

This piece is a good analogy of my approach to my work – it really sums up the kind of methods and aesthetics I work with, and the simple but effective ways I go about achieving them.
