A Monday pause before the week takes over. Watch one ring turn. Breathe in, breathe out. Then another. A small, endlessly spinning start to your day. #CreativeCoding #MathArt #GenerativeArt #MondayMood

Taught the flower to bloom. 🌸 Think of it as a time-lapse: half the day it spins left, half the day it spins right, and in between it rests. Tomorrow it starts all over again. #generativeart #mathart #creativecoding

Grew a flower with zero water and about 600 triangles. 🌸 A pentagon cut into 10 slices, each slice's corners chasing each other inward. Neighbors spin opposite ways, and petals appear on their own. #generativeart #mathart #creativecoding

Update: they're still chasing. 🔥 Same rosette, now animated: 60 pursuit curves winding up from bare outlines and back again, on loop forever. #generativeart #mathart #creativecoding

Everyone here is chasing someone. Nobody ever catches up. A curve of pursuit: each corner of a shape steps toward its neighbor. 60 little chases in 12 petals, and the glow is just where the lines pile up. inspired by @helsig.bsky.social's posts #generativeart #mathart #creativecoding

Curves of pursuit art #MathArt

A pattern of straight lines that form curved lines. White on black background. Zentangle paradox, paradox tangles, pursuit curves.

Plot twist: every line in this portrait is a polynomial. Sometimes mathematics reveals the bigger picture—if you’re willing to step back and look. Can you see the hidden image? #MathArt

Looks really nice! We recently published a paper on reproducing images using Tetris pieces. In our case, each type of piece is always the same color, so we work with grayscale images. doi.org/10.1080/1751... bsky.app/profile/ja-i...

My code plays "Tetris" with your photos — squares that are "close enough" in color just... merge. No falling pieces, no line clears, just an image slowly collapsing into blocks. 🟨🟧🟫

If you do a lot of levels the lines goof it up. But I could remove the lines and double the allowable levels. How about that?

The pattern on a wall during a meeting caught my eye and I had an idea to mesh refine based on variation of the color in a mosaic's tile. Each triangle in this mosaic is a solid color.
