This animation is a behind the scenes look into the simulation that generates the storm series of pen plotter drawings. In a sense this is a whole-world simulation, but with accurate real-world forces incorrectly applied. The space of the world is two-dimensional and corresponds to the extents of the image. To make the drawing the entire duration of each world’s existence is translated to marks. Gravity exists as a universal downward force in this world, but the force is variable, not constant. Although the behavior of particles is labeled to correspond to phenomena in our world, scalar distinctions are short-circuited and flaws are built in. Atoms are bound by springs and clouds formed by conditional if-then statements, for example.
