Description
Solid is a group of 4 Java coded pieces consisting of unusual yet simple structures that can be twisted, stretched and generally thrown around the window by clicking and dragging the objects. The special quality of these pieces comes from how closely they behave in accordance to the laws of physics. They hang from the point you hold them, bounce when dropped and swing like a pendulum as if gravity is really playing a part. This natural behaviour makes these art works very appealing and a lot of fun to interact with. An added attractive feature of these coded applets are how the movements of the structures leave an impression on the window background, in the form of fabulous geometric patterns.
