lubar – Interruptions

Observations:

  1. The artwork is a square
  2. The centers of each line segment are in a grid form
  3. The line segments appear randomly rotated
  4. The line segments occasionally intercept
  5. There appear to be 57 possible lines across each axis
  6. The piece has a blank margin
  7. There are clusters of blank spaces that appear in random locations
  8. The clusters of black spaces are not uniform in size or shape
  9. The length of each line is slightly less the double the distance between each line
  10. The lines are thin and short

In the process of creating this, I found the rotation of the line segments to be particularly frustrating, although I initially assumes that that would pose the least challenges. The method that I was using involved the rotate() and translate() functions and it took me a while to figure out to use multiple translations I needed push() and pop(). Overall however, especially after discussing Perlin noise a bit with Sophia, I found the other elements to run smoothly, although not perfectly when compared with the original pieces. Molnar's original interruptions have a slightly 'free-er' quality that I was not able to capture despite playing around with it for a long time. Despite the slightly denser interruptions, I am content with how the reproduction turned out, and I would be curious to know how that effect was/might have been achieved without Perlin noise, as I haven't quite been able to wrap my head around it yet.
