Generative animation inspired by the work "Study for Camino Real" by Anni Albers from 1967. Each triangle (cell) its rotation is based on the configurations of its neighbouring cells. This algorithm could be described as a combination of a cellular automaton and a Markov chain.
The grid is reconfigured in intervals, and scans from top left to bottom right, referring to the process of weaving, or writing text. Each time rotation completes, touching triangles transition to one shared colour, forming groups.
