But in the hands of drmolly, this ancient principle is not merely a design rule; it is a living, breathing algorithm.
// Draw a short line segment each frame let x1 = radius * cos(angle); let y1 = radius * sin(angle); let x2 = (radius * scaleFactor) * cos(angle + TWO_PI / phi); let y2 = (radius * scaleFactor) * sin(angle + TWO_PI / phi); line(x1, y1, x2, y2); golden mean v04 by drmolly link
The Golden Mean has been applied in various fields of aesthetics, including: As the title suggests, the work is an
