Forked from Episode 3: Sol LeWitt in Vanilla JavaScript version 4

A colorful grid of thin vertical rectangles fills the screen, each one continuously rotating 360 degrees via the Web Animations API’s `Element.animate()`. A large white circle overlays the center, while a second set of horizontal rectangles, masked by an SVG `mask` containing a circle, reveals only inside that circular region. The piece generates random RGB fill colors for each vertical bar and uses a fixed count of 200 elements, with SVG attributes and styles set imperatively through JavaScript. The animation runs infinitely with a 2000-millisecond duration per rotation.

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).

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.

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 6

This interactive SVG artwork reproduces a Sol LeWitt-inspired geometric composition using vanilla JavaScript and the SVG DOM API. It displays a grid of vertical rectangles overlaid with three white circles, plus a second grid of horizontal rectangles masked by three additional circles via SVG `<mask>` elements. The code generates 200 rectangles per grid programmatically, sizes elements relative to the window dimensions, and calls the Web Animations API’s `animate()` method with empty keyframes, preparing the shapes for potential motion while no visible animation occurs.

Episode 3: Sol LeWitt in Vanilla JavaScript version 4

This interactive visualization displays two overlapping rectangular grids of colored bars across the full browser window. One set of vertical bars covers the screen, while the second set of horizontal bars is restricted to a circular mask centered in the view. Each of the 200 vertical bars is randomly colored and animated with infinite looping duration, though no keyframes are specified. The piece is built with vanilla JavaScript creating SVG elements directly, using the DOM API for shape creation and styling.

Episode 3: Sol LeWitt in Vanilla JavaScript version 3

This example reproduces a Sol LeWitt-inspired art piece as an animated SVG composition. It shows a grid of thin vertical rectangles with randomized colors and staggered upward motion, overlaid with a large white circle. A second circle acts as a mask, revealing a hidden layer of horizontal rectangles beneath. The piece is built entirely with Vanilla JavaScript, creating SVG elements dynamically and animating them with the Web Animations API’s `animate()` method, using randomized durations and infinite iterations.

Episode 3: Sol LeWitt in Vanilla JavaScript : Mar 27,2021 : group of circles, more circles - Animations

A grid of 10,000 circles animates in SVG, with each circle's radius pulsing between 0 and 20 pixels over a 20-second cycle while strokes display random RGB colors. The vanilla JavaScript creates circles dynamically using `document.createElementNS` and applies CSS keyframe animations to alter the `r` attribute. The piece references Sol LeWitt's generative grid aesthetics, using randomized stroke colors against unfilled shapes to produce a shifting, cellular pattern across the full browser viewport.

Episode 3: Sol LeWitt in Vanilla JavaScript version 2

This example renders a generative SVG composition inspired by Sol LeWitt, using vanilla JavaScript and the SVG DOM API. It displays a field of randomly colored vertical rectangles, with a white circle centered over them. A second set of randomly colored horizontal rectangles is clipped by a circular mask, creating a crosshatched disk. The code constructs all shapes dynamically, assigning random fill colors and using CSS transitions to animate the vertical rectangles' height on hover.

Episode 3: Sol LeWitt in Vanilla JavaScript

This example recreates a Sol LeWitt-inspired geometric composition using vanilla JavaScript and SVG. It displays a grid of vertical rectangles spanning the full window height, overlaid with a white circle at the center that masks a second layer of horizontal rectangles, creating a crosshatch pattern within the circular boundary. The code constructs SVG elements programmatically via `createElementNS` and manipulates styles for positioning and masking, using the `mask` element with a circle to clip the inner grid.
