This piece is generally based on Damien Hirst spots, with his simple rule of no exact colour more than once, but I totally broke that rule, of course.
The idea behind the project was to take one of the simplest things in generative art, randomly coloured dots on a grid.
Many projects use dots on a grid as the base foundation for building more complexity. However, just the dots themselves are often considered too simple to have as a project on their own.
Given the limited amount of time for a 12-hour speed run, I decided to see if I could take something as simple as dots and inject just a little bit of GenArt personality into it. The first step was to add some variation to the shape of the dots.
=======================================
Print size is square.
'h' - toggle high resolution
's' - save PNG file
The high resolution image outputs at 8,192 x 8,192 pixels.
Print 27.3" x 27.3" at 300dpi Print 69.4cm x 69.4cm at 300dpi
Add ?forceWidth=xxxx where xxxx is the pixels size you want. For example to print at 100cm high, the width would need to be 100cm. 100cm in inches is 39.37" at 300dpi = 11,811 pixels width. So using ?forceWidth=11811 and downloading will give you an PNG large enough to be safely printed at 1 meter height.
