Creative coding must have some special meaning...?

It draws a word "早寝" (go to bed early) on the background paint.

Do you feel something special in this generative art?

It's a generative art of a word on the background drawing.

The word is selected randomly and the random drawings generator in the code draws the background drawing. The code was written in the 'Processing' programming language.

Any word on this drawing is a plain word, and it has no special meanings at all. I'm interested in the feeling of the people who saw this generative art. If they saw the words on the expressive background, they may think there must be some special meanings in plain words.

Whatever the background drawing with my random drawings generator is beautiful or not. 🤣







The 'Processing' example code.

Please feel free to use this Processing example code under the terms of the GPL.
To see another works based on my code is my pleasure. And my honor.



What a shame! 😱
I wrote such a stupidable code like this.
float valSat = map(random(1.0), 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 20.0);

I've fixed it. Thank you  幽谷響 (@x_YAMABIKO_x) for your indication.
