Squares on squares

Squares on squares by SMLDMS

Subtle chaos under geometric control.

I drew this piece like a score of squares.
Each parameter—palette, margin, offset, amplitude—slightly unbalances the whole.
The system is strict. But it slips. It trembles a little.
It’s generative, made in p5.js.

I like when logic becomes pattern. When error melts into order.


Squares on squares is a surface game, a minimal micro-story.
