I’ve been talking for awhile about how I’d like to play with merging generative art with tactile mediums - from pen plotting and printing, to weaving and embroidery - there are so many opportunities to create! My partner has been really supportive and encouraging throughout this journey and, this weekend, he gifted me a screen printing kit to kickstart my exploration of the tactile design world. So, this week I’ll be exploring potential 2D design ideas, with the limitations and opportunities of screen printing in mind.

Code:

x = 0;
y = 100;
xoff = 0;

function setup() {
  createCanvas(700, 700);
  background(248);
  noStroke();
  rL = random(100,600);
}

function draw() {
  xoff = xoff + 0.007;
  n = noise(xoff) * 2;

  if (frameCount == 1) {
    fill(247, 62, 0);
    rect(100, 100, 500);
  } else {

    for (l = 0; l < rL; l = l + 8) {
      if (x < 100 || x > width - 100 || y * n + l < 100 || y * n + l > height - 100) {
        fill(0);
      } else {
        fill(248);
      }
      ellipse(x, y * n + l, 3);
    }
    x = x + 1;
  }

  if (x == 700) {
    fill(248);
    ellipse(random(100, 600), random(100, 600), random(50, 250));
  }
}
