Most likely, you are me. However, there is a possibility that you are
neither myself nor an automated bot scanning for vulnerabilities. If so, I
am happy to welcome you to this website. This is my playground, and perhaps
it can be yours too.
The main purpose of this site is to provide a platform for me to
experiment with web programming, math and physics and occasional
other thoughts. Anything I feel like.
Some of the experiments have, however, resulted in animations, texts or apps that may interest others.
In particular, I invite you to visit the animations page, which
lists a variety of interactive visual stuff.
There are some old drawings and animations in the art
page, but this is mostly to have somewhere to put that.
At the time of writing (I doubt this text will be updated again), a separate
page is dedicated to apps. There is no system
here, bigger projects with user-server interaction, database management, and
so on, will be placed here.
In the blog page, there are short texts,
typically of a mathematical/physical nature. If, which is often the
case, I feel the urge to accompany the text with a simulation or
visualisation, the entry appears in the
animations page instead.
Finally, if you would like to get in touch (that would be awesome) then you
can either add a feedback entry, or head
over to the about me page.
The origin
My interest in creative coding started many years ago, when I discovered processing. After several years of playing
with processing, I started studying physics and mathematics at the University of Oslo. I then started learning
scientific programming using python, C++, and MatLab. However, I often came across phenomena I would like to see
animated to gain intuition and understanding. Processing, and later p5js, became my favourite tool for small and quick
side projects. We were offered a website server at the university, which eventually became the home of various
visualisations and experiments with web programming. Since then, I first moved the site to a static GitHub page, and
later to a dynamic Heroku website. In attempt learn more about the server-side programming, it has finally been moved
to a manually configured server, where we are now. Although much has changed since I started this, the purpose remains
the same. This is a low-key playground to experiment with visualisations and web programming.
