All The Words
Date:
[]
This p5js sketch is based on a projection I created for our community theatre production of The Phantom Tollbooth. The director wanted an animation of letters that came together to form the text “All The Words In The Universe”. The text is related to the themes of the play, but I don’t think that exact phrase appears in the play.
The particle and seeking algorithms are from Daniel Shiffman and The Nature of Code. The method of creating the particle targets that make up “All The Words...” is based on examples from OpenProcessing.org. I don’t remember the specific sources I used, but one source might have been work from Richard Bourne.
My original version used a NASA photograph from the Hubble Space Telescope as the background. For this version I used one of the new photos from the Vera C. Rubin observatory.
