FLOAT FUSION

exploring the possibilities of two sets of variables and starting positions. one, we call the linear sketch and was centered on two sets of straight points clash-ing into each other. in the second sketch, the cloud, a orthogonal set of points grew into a fan, that ex-panded spiraling.

both were interesting approaches, but were lacking the complexity we sought so we decided to merge both sketches. we were interested into the interac-

-terns that would emerge from it.
