This code is adapted from Infinite Rainbows, a generative animation by Marius Watz. The original Actionscript version was commissioned by POKE as part of Good Things Should Never End, an online brand experience for Orange UK.
Good Things Should Never End was included in MOMA's 2011 "Talk to Me" Exhibition. Further documentation can be found in this Flickr set.
Here is the full project description and credits as listed on moma.org.

On this seemingly endless website— designed by Poke as a promotion for the UK mobile telecommunications company Orange—users can scroll continuously down the screen, following an infinite winding rainbow through a brightly colored landscape littered with zany characters, interactive links, hidden prizes, and animated effects. This world is enriched by opportunities to interact with its denizens: users can click on the characters to chat with them, play games, and explore.
Marius Watz and Poke have generously given permission for this p5.js port started by Daniel Shiffman for use on the YouTube channel "Coding Rainbow."
