Mamoun Kolovos - Text Experiments

This is a collection of my visually interesting animations using only text characters with JavaScript, Adobe After Effects, applied mathematics & various programming techniques! I originally released these on my Twitter and organized them here for your convenience. Most of the experiments showcased on this page are videos so make sure to click on them to watch.
