(Processing Applet) PYRAMIDS
assignment: Parameterized Form + Macro Micro
name: PYRAMIDS


Program: Duplicate and transform a single object and create a composition out of its multiple variations. The shape is the outline of a triangle with a 5px x 5px circle in the upper left angle. One side of the triangle will remain horizontal. A filled rectangle that can change alpha is connected to the horizontal side of the triangle. The shape will either be black or orange. The canvas is 150 grey. The compositions created from the transformed shape resemble landscapes with varying types of pyramids (from step pyramids to smooth ones). Each time the process is run the starting shape will be transformed and duplicated in a different way. This will result in a perceived change in a landscape scene where pyramids change in structure, position, and number. Perspective and horizon also appear to change.
