Fork of budha
The visualization "Fork of Budha" layers a scatterplot of randomly positioned, colored circles over an intricate SVG path. The circles are generated through triple-nested maps over a 0–20 array, producing 21³ points with random positions, radii, and hues from a limited RGB palette, creating a dense, chaotic particle field. Beneath this, a complex path—drawn in a style reminiscent of a mandala or computational art—is rendered, with the circles serving as a textured, dynamic overlay. The composition juxtaposes ordered geometric linework with organic randomness, all set on a black background, resulting in a visually striking contrast between structure and noise. The visualization is built with React, uses SVG for rendering, and carries an MIT license.Here is a concise description for the visualization gallery:
**Fork of budha** is a generative art experiment that layers a dense field of semi-transparent, randomly colored circles over an intricate, Buddha-like line drawing. Rendered as an SVG via React, the piece contrasts algorithmic chaos—where thousands of points are positioned through nested random mappings—with a single, precisely defined vector path. The black background heightens the vivid RGB hues and the calm, meditative silhouette of the figure, creating a striking tension between order and randomness. The work is a fork of an original "budha" visualization, reimagined through code and SVG rendering.

**Fork of budha** is a minimalist generative artwork that merges algorithmic pointillism with a precisely drawn linear figure. Built with React and rendered as SVG, the piece scatters hundreds of semi-transparent colored circles across a black canvas, while a single elegant path—the "budha" glyph—anchors the composition. The contrast between chaotic, randomly placed dots and the structured vector form creates a meditation on order and chance, inviting viewers to explore the balance between controlled design and emergent randomness. The work is part of a creative-coding lineage, remixing a source example under the MIT license.
