Transformation Research

In this processing sketch created by Chris Pitt, he uses simple arcs to create this cool looking disk. What I found most interesting about it is that he starts with nothing, but as the arcs continue to layer themselves on top of each other they create something totally new. The disk continues to get more complicated and more defined as the program runs. The best part about this program is that the code isn't that complicated. It seems as though he has two loops running at the same time: one for the white arcs and one for the blue arcs. Each time the loop runs, the arcs rotate slightly until they reach the place the started, and then they continue to rotate. This creates a very interesting transformation from nothing to this cool looking disk.
