Pression des pairs, is a generative animation inspired by Vera Molnár’s 1959 piece Quatre éléments distribués au hasard. The title, French for "peer pressure," references the work’s underlying algorithm, where each cell’s rotation is influenced by its neighboring cells (its peers). This algorithm could be described as a combination of cellular automata and a Markov chain. The grid is reconfigured in intervals, and scans from top left to bottom right, referring to weaving or writing text. Each time rotation completes, connecting cells take on one similar color, creating groups.
