Bauhaus Geometric

Mobile Balance

A Calder-style kinetic mobile of Bauhaus primary-colored circles, squares, and triangles hang from swaying black balance arms in slow counterpoint.

When to use it

Dark-background hero sections, art/design portfolio accents, ambient decorative displays needing calm geometric motion.

When not to

Light backgrounds (hardcoded dark canvas). Contexts needing interactivity or fast motion — this is purely ambient and passive.

Working with an AI agent

Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:

Add a fifth leaf shape by appending a leaf('T', BLU, 0.09) to the rightmost arm's subtree and adjusting armLen from 0.20 to 0.26. Theme: dark tokens live in :root, the light variant in :root[data-theme="light"]; ?theme=light or a {type:'forever:theme'} postMessage switches at runtime.

Safe to edit

  • sway speed (t * 0.00065 multiplier)
  • arm amplitudes (amp values per arm node)
  • shape colors (RED, BLU, YEL constants)
  • shape sizes (r values in leaf() calls)
  • root anchor vertical offset (cy - S*0.40)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • DPR-aware canvas resize block
  • visibilitychange pause/resume
  • reduced-motion static frame fallback
  • IIFE wrapper
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Background color hardcoded to #101012 — must edit CSS and frame() fill to change
  • Mobile tree is fixed-structure; adding arms requires understanding the recursive arm/leaf data model
