OK. Squares in space.
Experimenting with transparency (alpha):
background(255,255,255); size(500, 500); fill(255,0,0,127); ellipse(200,250,200,200); noStroke(); fill(0,255,0,127); ellipse(250,175,200,200); noStroke(); fill(0,0,255,127); ellipse(275,250,200,200);
Kasmir Malevich‘s work has been an inspiration for me as long as I can remember. I couldn’t find the image of a solar operated kinetic work that I built which was modeled after Black Square Red Square to include here. There is an image of that piece in the link above. Meanwhile if you roll your mouse over the red square, it moves about. “Mouse over red square,” sounds like the title of a book.. well maybe a chapter in a book.
This was an exercise in variables and an opportunity to think about opArt of 1960’s
