Καλειδοσκόπιο

Ian Sachs180/180

A kaleidoscope is an object that consists of a tube or cylinder with a set of mirrors inside, which reflect symmetrical images of colored objects or glass fragments. When you look through the viewer of the kaleidoscope, these images multiply into complex and fascinating patterns.

The reflections in the kaleidoscope are created by the mirrors inside the cylinder. Typically, there are three or four mirrors, which are placed at specific angles to create the reflected patterns. When light enters the tube, it is reflected by the mirrors, creating a symmetrical image of the object or glass fragment placed at the end of the cylinder.

The result is a series of reflected images that repeat in geometric patterns, creating a mesmerizing visual effect. Each time you rotate the kaleidoscope, the images transform into new and surprising combinations of colors and shapes.

In summary, a kaleidoscope is a tool that creates fascinating and colorful reflective images. The reflections are created by the mirrors inside the cylinder and multiply into complex and symmetrical patterns. It's a great way to explore the properties of light and color while creating visually appealing and mesmerizing images.

In this project, I drew inspiration from the mesmerizing reflections and variations that a kaleidoscope can create, as well as its simple yet elegant design. Using p5.js, I explored the potential for generating variations of Hydra, and experimented with integrating hex colors into the Hydra workflow.

By building on the concepts of the kaleidoscope, I aimed to create a unique and visually appealing project that showcases the beauty and complexity of reflective patterns. The addition of hex colors to Hydra brings an exciting new dimension to the project, allowing for a greater range of color variations and visual effects.

Overall, this project represents an exploration of the intersection between art, technology, and design, and serves as a testament to the power of creative experimentation and exploration.


All profits make on this project will be donated tofamilies and homeless people affected by the disaster on the north coast of São Paulo.
