MEANDERING
An exhibition at Azim Premji University
RIVERS OF LIFE—A JOURNEY THROUGH INDIA'S RIVERS
The meandering river animation was created using custom code on Processing—a Java based coding platform—and then treated on Adobe After Effects. It was an iterative process trying to get as true to the patterns of a river as possible. To simulate the behaviour of a river over time, first, a single line path was established. Then, a derived vector was added to each point on the curves of the path to suggest terrain. The resultant images were then stitched together and cleaned up to create the final piece.

"Rivers of Life is an initiative by Azim Premji University, the first of a series that aims to depict nature in all its forms depicting the splendor of our rivers through the vivid imaginations of young interns. Their work, intermeshed with generous contributions from civil society groups, come together to form a multi-layered narrative of the river. The exhibition will help students understand the lifecycle of a river, its civilisations, a source of livelihood, and biodiversity."
