This piece generates an abstract, animated composition inspired by Sol LeWitt’s geometric wall drawings. A grid of 200 vertical rectangles, each filled with a random bright RGB color, extends across the full window height, with each rectangle independently bobbing upward in a looping translateY animation. Centered in the viewport, a white circle is drawn, and a separate mask (defined via SVG `mask` and `defs`) is applied to a grid of horizontal rectangles, so that only the circular area reveals the second set of stripes. The sketch uses only vanilla JavaScript and the SVG DOM API, without any external libraries, to assemble and animate the shapes.

AI-generated description

Inspiration from Curran's live streaming

Started from scratch. Lot of research helps.

Exercise options:

Reproduce any Sol LeWitt piece.

Create generative art in the spirit of Sol LeWitt.

Add animation to what we’ve created (e.g. rotation).

Fork of Episode 3: Sol LeWitt in Vanilla JavaScript version 4

This example generates a grid of vertical SVG rectangles filled with random RGB colors, layered with a white circle and a horizontally striped mask-defined circle overlay. It uses the Web Animations API to apply infinite, randomized-duration animations to each rectangle. The piece is inspired by Sol LeWitt’s generative art, created in vanilla JavaScript with dynamic SVG creation via `document.createElementNS`.

Fork of Episode 3: Sol LeWitt in Vanilla JavaScript version 3

This example shows a generative art piece inspired by Sol LeWitt, featuring a grid of animated vertical rectangles that shift downward while a white circle overlays the center. A second set of horizontal rectangles is clipped by a circular mask, creating a layered geometric composition. The animation uses the Web Animations API’s `element.animate()` with random durations and translations, while SVG elements are created dynamically via `document.createElementNS`. Random RGB fills are assigned to each rectangle, and the mask is defined using SVG `<mask>` and `<circle>` elements.

Fork of Episode 3: Sol LeWitt in Vanilla JavaScript version 3 Nita's Piece

This piece generates an abstract animated composition in the spirit of Sol LeWitt using vanilla JavaScript and the SVG API. A vertical grid of 200 randomly colored rectangles spans the full window height and animates upward infinitely with randomized durations. A large white circle is drawn over the center of these moving bars. A second horizontal grid of rectangles is then rendered across the entire canvas, but it is clipped by a mask defined with a circle element, revealing a circular window that shows the white shape and the animated color field below.

Fork of Fork of Episode 3: Sol LeWitt in Vanilla JavaScript version 2

This example generates a colorful, generative art piece inspired by Sol LeWitt, built entirely with vanilla JavaScript and the SVG API. It renders a full-screen grid of randomly colored vertical rectangles, then overlays a large white circle in the center. A second grid of horizontal rectangles is clipped to that same circular shape using an SVG `<mask>`, creating a layered, intersecting pattern. All shapes are created dynamically via `document.createElementNS`, with colors assigned through randomized RGB values.

Fork of Episode 3: Sol LeWitt in Vanilla JavaScript version 2

This visualization shows a grid of vertical, randomly colored rectangles overlaid with a large white circle in the center. A second grid of horizontal rectangles is masked to appear only inside that central circular region. The piece is built by constructing SVG elements directly, including both vertical and horizontal rectangles, and using a mask with a circle to clip the horizontal grid to the circular area. The code uses the Document API to create SVG elements and applies inline styles for fill colors and geometry.

This piece, presented in a web browser, shows two overlapping, colorful compositions of abstract vertical and horizontal stripes. The rendering is built with the vanilla JavaScript API for SVG, using programmatically created shapes. A white circle obscures the center of the vertical stripe pattern, while a separate set of horizontal stripes is clipped to a circular mask, creating the appearance of a layered, circular cutout. Each rectangle’s fill color is randomly generated, producing a dynamic, multicolored grid.

Episode 3: Sol LeWitt in Vanilla JavaScript version 3

This piece generates an animated SVG composition inspired by Sol LeWitt. Two overlapping grids of rectangles—vertical bars and horizontal stripes—interact with a central white circle. The vertical bars are randomly colored and drift upward via CSS-style animations applied through the SVG `animate` method. A mask restricts the horizontal grid to a circular region, creating a lens effect. Built with vanilla JavaScript and DOM manipulation, it uses no external libraries.

Episode 3: Sol LeWitt in Vanilla JavaScript version 4

This example displays a full-screen generative composition of vertical and horizontal color grids overlaying a central white circle. Built with vanilla JavaScript and the SVG API, it creates 200 animated vertical rectangles that jitter horizontally behind a masked grid of horizontal bars. The code uses `document.createElementNS` for SVG elements, CSS transforms for the infinite animation loop, and a mask to confine the horizontal grid within a circular boundary.
