Original p5 sketch:

I created this sketch below as part of my creative coding final, May 2024. I haven’t looked at it in a while, but I thought it would be fun to use for this assignment.

Update p5 sketch using createVector():

https://editor.p5js.org/se2226/sketches/kYtv3TnXm

It was so interesting to see how createVector() changed the feel and my relationship to my previous work. Playing with the “math” of the p5 code allowed me to sort of come up with a methodology for calculating a dynamic acceleration, and even know where the vector will move to. While the principles of Vectors and acceleration are serious, it was nice using them to create nonsensical patterns and movements in my work.

Notes:

• In mathematics, a tensor is an algebraic object that describes a multilinear relationship between sets of algebraic objects related to a vector space. Tensors may map between different objects such as vectors, scalars, and even other tensors
• js only knows how to use “+” operator with numbers
