I've always been fascinated by the intersection of technology and art. "Color Ballet" is my exploration into this fascinating crossroads. It's a digital canvas that comes alive with a symphony of colors, each pixel dancing and colliding in a ballet choreographed by algorithms and randomness.

Creating "Color Ballet" was a journey into the unknown. I started with a simple question: How can I use code to mimic the randomness and beauty inherent in nature? The answer was a digital reimagination of pointillism, a technique pioneered by Georges Seurat. But instead of painstakingly placing each dot, I let the code scale down the dots from larger to smaller sizes, creating a blend of colors as the dots moved and overlapped.

The heart of "Color Ballet" is a simple random walk algorithm. Each pixel, or 'walker', is assigned a color and set loose on the canvas.

The performance lasts for 20 seconds, after which the code stops, freezing the ballet of colors in a unique pattern. Each viewing of "Color Ballet" results in a different arrangement of colors and patterns, making each rendition a unique piece of art.
