2D Generative Animation Gallery

Animations coded with Pixi.js, utilizes WebGL and styled with Sass.

What goes into a piece of generative art?
Often, generative art draws inspiration from modern art, especially pop art that makes heavy use of orderly geometric patterns.

• Randomness is crucial for creating generative art. The art should be different each time you run the generation script.
• Algorithms — As generative artists, we use code basics like loops, control flow and specialized functions.
• Geometry — Most generative art incorporates shapes, and the math from high school geometry class can aid in some really cool effects.
