alt Hacker NewsShow HN: Sol LeWitt-style instruction-based drawings in the browser
Sol LeWitt was a conceptual artist who never touched his own walls.
He wrote instructions and other people executed them, the original prompt engineer!
I bookmarked a project called "Solving Sol" seven years ago and made a repo in 2018. Committed a README. Never pushed anything else.
Fast forward to 2026, I finally built it.

I love this. Thanks.
In case anyone hasn't visited the Sol LeWitt installation at MASS MoCA in North Adams MA, do check it out. They usually have some other good stuff there too.
Fun and interesting!
It does loose a little of the “immersiveness” (large walls are covered by the patterns)but makes up for it in the fine details.
The mass moca exhibit is good if you find yourself in north Adams ma. One of my profile photo is in front of a Sol Lewitt wall.
