Collection: parallel lines
parallel lines is an original generative art algorithm that creates unique, code-driven visual compositions. Each artwork is one-of-a-kind, produced through a randomization process that ensures no two pieces are ever identical.
The algorithm creates dynamic arrangements of vertical lines, each with randomly determined properties including color, length, thickness, and positioning. Some compositions feature bold solid colors, while others showcase elegant gradients that blend and flow across the canvas. The interplay of these elements creates striking visual rhythms—sometimes minimal and serene, other times complex and energetic. Every design in this collection represents a single execution of the algorithm, capturing a fleeting moment of computational creativity frozen in time.
parallel lines was developed using TypeScript and p5.js by artist and software engineer azurepolarbear. The algorithm carefully balances randomness with aesthetic intention, allowing for endless variation while maintaining visual cohesion across the collection. The source code of parallel lines is publicly available on GitHub.
Each item in this collection is an authentic generative art piece: an original output of the creative code. Whether displayed on everyday items or as standalone prints, these designs bring algorithmic artistry into your daily life.
This collection celebrates the intersection of art, mathematics, and technology, proving that code can be just as expressive as a paintbrush. parallel lines demonstrates how computational creativity can generate beauty that's both intentional and serendipitous, each product bearing the signature of digital craftsmanship.
