"Revealed Secret” is a generative art project that delves into the beauty and complexity that emerges when we look past the surface. Our brains are trained to make quick judgements about people and things in order to assess danger and keep us safe. But if we set aside our fear and take more time, we see that things are more complex and wonderous than they seemed at first. The surface is blessedly broken and the hidden layers peak through to produce a fine tapestry of reality.
The project begins with a shader that creates three layers of Perlin noise. An optional second shader smears the colors. Then selected shapes are used to erase parts of the top two layers. I'm delighted to finally use my own shaders to create art. I'm borrowing shader noise code from Inigo Quilez and shader random code from Patricio Gonzalez Vivo. Made with p5.js.
