✨This is a walk in Glitch City from the point of view of a computer ✨
⚫️ In the video, the camera moves on its own (with perlin noise logic).
⚫️ My mouse is moving to create more buildings not the way camera moves

What did you originally intend to create?
I wanted to apply noise function on the camera, so I can see through the lens of a computer on where it decides to walk & go. Originally, I also wanted to create a city of blocks with images fetched on Giphy API as a representation of internet world.
Narrate the process of creating your sketch.
I first start of creating the city because when the world is completely white, it’s hard to see which way the computer is looking at (noise). Once have the greybox of how a city should look like, I start to mess around with the camera angles and the way it walks.
What resources and examples did you draw on to create your sketch?
I learned about the glitch library in my previous class - recode. I thought that glitch & random & noise will be a very interesting combinations. Therefore I created the people in the building (boxes with camera image) with a layer of glitch effects, representing they are very diverse and hidden, like the citizens in the internet. Then I have the position of the buildings being randomized, so it can scatter around and fills up the space quickly. Last but not least, I apply noise on the camera to see how it walks in this city.
What problems/discoveries did you encounter along the way?
However, I couldn’t figure out how to use texture() function to apply gifs as texture on the boxes, therefore, I changed my mind into using the camera function to create the the feel of peple who live in the buildings.
For the walking part, I wasn’t sure how to make more natural since the space feels like it’s floating in the air, so the sense of directions is already a little loose. I tried playing with the angles of the camera but wasn’t sure if that comes out good (see the final version below)
**** you might have to use it in the browser not in notion to enable the camera functions****
