Graphic Designers Have Always Loved Minimalism. But at What Cost?

I think there is quite a difference between minimalism and simplicity which is often confused (also by designers themselves).

Simplicity done right is really about focusing on the core idea and removing anything not related to that. This can feel like a “minimalist aesthetic” which others attempt to copy but is actually something completely different.

I’m working on generative coding art. One thing I like about it is how having to literally “code” your art enforces already an initial formalization of the shapes in the work.

Thanks! I really liked some of the examples there.

Do you have any links to other work, or are you primarily interested in what can be coded?

So because coding art is hard, it's more difficult not to make it minimal, I guess.

Is that built with something like 3djs?

Built using my custom creative coding tool which also incorporates some d3 stuff:
