Digital Space

The intention behind this piece was to depict some sort of digital matrixy space thing. As you can see, I have clearly failed to do that. However, with a bit of tweaking, I managed to get it to a point where it didn’t look too bad to my eyes.

Have a look at the Processing source code below.

int count = 0;

void setup() {
  size(1080, 1080);
  noLoop();
  rectMode(CENTER);
  frameRate(1);
}

void draw() {
  count++;
  if (count == 10) {
     count = 0;
     frameRate(random(1, 25));
  }
  
  background(0);
  float z = random(0.01,0.3);
  
  for (int y = 0; y < height; y += 10) {
    for (int x = 0; x < width; x += 10) {
      smooth();
      stroke(random(255), random(255));
        if (random(0, 1) > z){
          point(x, y);
      }
      else {
        noStroke();
        fill(random(255), random(255), 200);
        rect(x, y, 5, 5);
     }
    } 
  }
 saveFrame("digital-space.jpg");
