Hello, Algorithmic Art!

Beginning my journey into algorithmic mathematical art

This is the start of my algorithmic mathematical art journey. I’ll be exploring the intersection of mathematics, algorithms, and visual beauty — creating art through code.

What is Algorithmic Mathematical Art?

Algorithmic mathematical art is the practice of generating visual art using mathematical formulas and computational algorithms. Rather than painting by hand, you write code that produces intricate, often mesmerizing patterns and shapes.

Topics I Plan to Explore

  • Mathematical curves — Rose curves, Lissajous figures, spirographs, and other parametric curves
  • Fractals — Mandelbrot set, Julia sets, and fractal landscapes
  • Tilings and tessellations — Penrose tilings, Voronoi diagrams, and geometric patterns
  • L-systems — Algorithmic generation of plant-like and organic structures
  • Strange attractors — Lorenz, Rössler, and other chaotic systems rendered as art
