This is a generative art project that features a series of multicolored cubes that rotate when you move over them. I admire how engaging the work is and how the individual cubes form a larger pattern. I suppose that this algorithm simply generates many three dimensional cubes that are programmed to rotate in response to the mouse. Some easing function is probably involved in the motion and the colors are likely generated by perlin noise or some similar function. I admire how organic the motion feels and how it is juxtaposed by the technological modernity implied by the colors and medium.
