Hatchet: Kagami (鏡) is the third piece in Hatchet; a generative art series that hatches an arrangement of segmented polygons generated via a Voronoi diagram. Kagami (Japanese for 'mirror') arranges it's polygons in reflected symmetry, creating patterns reminiscent of kaleidoscopes and snowflakes. Mixed color palettes alternate between reflections to incorporate a level of asymmetry. As opposed to previous Hatchet pieces, the chance of generating a light and dark background is equal.
All pieces in Hatchet are composed to emulate the aesthetic of colored pencils on paper. Each piece is capable of exporting its hatch lines as a well-labeled SVG document. This will allow collectors interested in plotting to create physical renditions of their iteration.
The following key-press actions are supported on the token:
- 'r': Animate the erasure and re-drawing of the hatch lines.
- 's': Export the SVG document describing the arrangement of hatch lines.
