Hairy Story

Hairy Story thumbnail

Adapted from Hairy Story by Edmundo Mejía Galindo.

A deterministic accumulation of oversized ellipse outlines creates a static irregular grid of arcs, preserving the original contrast between chaotic crossings and structured corners.

// ABOUTME: Builds a dense field of intersecting arcs from oversized ellipses.
// ABOUTME: Uses seeded random placement to balance chaotic lines with ordered corners.
// Inspired by “Hairy Story” by Edmundo Mejía Galindo: https://github.com/ff6347/gestalten-in-code/tree/e8b8f8446c13c01494ccfd1e92ce2bb1638daf66/chance/p5js/hairy-story
