Gala, Bridget Riley

Bridget Riley, a celebrated British artist, was a driving force behind the Op Art movement of the 1960s. Her work features geometric patterns that challenge the viewer’s perceptions and evoke feelings of movement or vibration. Her 1974 piece Gala showcases a series of curvilinear forms that ripple across the canvas, evoking the natural rhythm of the sine wave.

In Chapters 1 and 2, I carefully worked out an object-oriented structure to animate a shape in a p5.js canvas, using the concept of a vector to represent position, velocity, and acceleration driven by forces in the environment. I could move straight from here into topics such as particle systems, steering forces, group behaviors, and more. However, doing so would mean skipping a fundamental aspect of motion in the natural world: oscillation, or the back-and-forth movement of an object around a central point or position.
