parc 0.2.0A small engine for sequences, rendered to SVG · GitHub
parc repeats one shape and changes it a step at a time. Each cell is one step of the same change, so every picture is also an animation. Press play and it moves.
It draws plain SVG. No dependencies, about 12 KB. Get it on GitHub.
The look comes from the motion studies Julio Le Parc painted in 1958 and 1959.
Hover the picture at the top, or tap it. The settings on the right change every picture on the page.

The engine and this page are inspired by heerich.js, David Aerne's voxel engine.
The art is inspired by Julio Le Parc. I've loved his motion studies since I saw Julio Le Parc 1959 at the Met. Here are three, rebuilt in parc.
