The original work that inspired me is fantastic. I wanted so see if I could pull it off real quick and easy in SVG. Answer is mostly, but by the time I felt like going to bed, I realized that they used decreasing space between the lines, and mine was constant. Check the original, it's super relaxing to watch - it's quite a bit faster than mine though.

Original work: Generative Pattern Drawing: Optical Art with Lines (Made with code / Processing)

//	node > 6
//	imagemagick's command line tool "convert"
//	gifsicle
//USAGE: Change params at the top to your liking. `node gif_process.js` starts it up.
//	EXECUTES ALL TASKS IN PARALEL.
//	If you run it like this, it will CONSUME YOUR WHOLE COMPUTER (100% cpu, 100% memory) for a few minutes while it works.
//DISCLOSURE: I was running terribly low on sleep when I wrote this. It's a tool. It gets a job done like ten times ever. Don't judge me on this. The code I write for my day job is like way better and I care a lot more about it because I have to maintain it all the time.

#So far, my Python scripts for Blender are segmented into
#a "create the objects" script,
#and a "describe their motion over time" script.
#The "motion.py" script must be run and have the "register"
#checkbox clicked on it in the Blender "Text Editor" window,
#so that it will add the driver every time the file loads.
#To use the creation script, you must already have a group named
#"Triangle" defined with some renderable mesh in it so that the
#"creation.py" script can create instances of that group.
#My "Triangle" group has a skinned wireframe triangle in it.
