p5js

I relied on color and transparency to achieve this design. There is a colorwheel "illusion" that I pulled from. If you draw a colorwheel and spin it, all the colors blur together to make it look like the wheel is white instead of a rainbow. I wondered what this would look like in a digital form. Instead of turning white which I thought my sketch might, it ended up looking like it was spinning. I added lines to amplify dimension, so that it looks like the center is getting smaller or almost like this is a top spinning, with the center being the point.

I thought this was a really interesting case study in how alternating color rather than shape can lead to the illusion of movement. It makes me wonder about the other ways in which the illusion of animation or movement can progress without actually animating a sketch in p5.
