Triangle composition framed, algorithmically created & pen plotted

GLSL and JavaScript programming, pen plotter DIN A3 (11.69x16.53 in), work in progress, 2025.

The second set of works in the Variationes circa triangula series, this project is based on the constraint of creating a composition from triangles, with each series reflecting a change in protocol.
Here, the protocol consists in creating a modular grid (successive division of the compositional space) and placing triangles on it, varying their scale.

Inspired by the works of the 60s and 70s (Op Art, GRAV, Sol Lewitt…), which use simple geometric forms, this series reinterprets this style with a system of grids or screens. The composition is crossed by a series of straight lines in different directions: vertical, horizontal and diagonal. As it traces these lines, the program checks point by point whether they reach the surface of a triangle, and if so, which ones are visible. As it hollows out the triangles by tracing the lines, the program creates a rhythm, an organization between the lines themselves through their spacing and shearing. At the same time, as it reveals a kind of stencil composed of triangles, the protocol reveals its system of reading or interpretation by creating intersecting grid patterns.
