Towns of Moiré

This project happened randomly. I tried around. Suddenly these skyscrapers appeared on my screen. I immediately thought of a little story that someone told me shortly before. About the "Moiré effect", which I didn't know until then. About railings of highway bridges, which achieve exactly this effect when you drive towards them. Based on the new pattern, conclusions can be drawn about the original pattern.

The Moiré effect is an optical effect in which a periodic grid is created by superimposing regular patterns. This grid has special structures that are not present in any of the individual patterns and vary when the method of superimposition is changed.

Towns of Moiré are a colorful arrangement of lines into geometric figures that look like a city or like a collection of skyscrapers. The superimposition of the lines creates unique patterns, colors and gradients.

There are over 300 handpicked colour-variations that were created in a dialogue between Serenica (AI Bot) and myself with the goal of creating expressive color combinations that contain a lot of myself.

You have some keyboard functionality:

[1] change Pixel Density to 1 and restart
[2] change Pixel Density to 2 for 2K High Resolution Images and restart
[4] change Pixel Density to 4 for 4K High Resolution Images and restart
[6] change Pixel Density to 6 for 6K High Resolution Images and restart
[8] change Pixel Density to 8 for 8K High Resolution Images and restart
[0] change Pixel Density to 10 for 10K High Resolution Images and restart

Please be patient the creation of hight Resolution Images with 6K or higher will take some time.
Also the creation and storage of the image.

[s] save an image at the current resolution. The current image will reset!
[r] restart
