A generative art tool that visualizes the complex relationships between concepts, ideas, and systems. When you close your eyes and think about how ideas connect, they often exist in a 3D space—blobs of concepts relating to one another, reminiscent of aerial photography, maps, and land use diagrams.
Tangle Map explores the tension between the organic and the precise. Each generation creates a unique landscape where:
- Clusters represent core concepts or epicenters
- Rivers flow between ideas, sometimes terminating in deltas
- Vegetation patches show organic growth around concepts
- Particles burst from plot areas, representing energy and activity
- Grid systems provide structural foundation
- Generative Art: Each refresh creates a new, unique composition
- Interactive Controls: Toggle layers, adjust parameters, and explore variations
- Swiss Typography: Clean, minimal interface with edition tracking
- Responsive Design: Adapts to different screen sizes
- Smooth Transitions: Fade effects for regenerating content
- React with Canvas API
- Custom layer system for modular rendering
- Perlin noise for organic shapes
- Tailwind CSS for styling
- LocalStorage for state persistence
- Click "Redraw" to generate a new composition
- Use "Controls" to toggle layers and adjust parameters
- Each generation gets a unique edition ID
- Explore the tension between structure and organic growth
Tangle Map is about making the invisible visible—turning abstract conceptual relationships into tangible, beautiful forms that exist somewhere between maps and dreams.
Robotic by nature, organic by design.
