ARTCYP Art in Cyprus, and a machine that draws Ελληνικά
Untitled (a Held Breath), generative plate from seed 504448726Forty-six bands stacked from the top down, each one a closed shape lying between two sine curves of differing amplitude, frequency and phase. The bands overlap, because each advances the cursor by only 62% of its own height. About one band in six is filled in an accent at higher opacity than the rest; the stack stops early if it runs past the bottom edge.

Η πυκνότητα είναι μέτρημα. Η ισορροπία είναι σύμπτωση του μετρήματος. Μπορείς να φύγεις όποτε θες. Δεν πήγαινε πουθενά.

Forty-six bands stacked from the top down, each one a closed shape lying between two sine curves of differing amplitude, frequency and phase. The bands overlap, because each advances the cursor by only 62% of its own height. About one band in six is filled in an accent at higher opacity than the rest; the stack stops early if it runs past the bottom edge. This plate is seed 504448726 in the Akamas Thyme palette.

After the Salt Crust, generative plate from seed 1640232956One rectangle divided recursively. At each node the split usually runs across the longer side, at a ratio between 0.3 and 0.7. Division stops at depth eight, below 34 units, or on a 7% chance at any node. Every surviving cell is stroked with an inset, about one in five in an accent, and about one in ten also takes a translucent accent fill.

It was not composed so much as permitted.

Late Carob, generative plate from seed 987625059Nine centres, each emitting 34 closed rings whose radius grows as the 0.7 power of the ring index, so the spacing tightens as they widen. Each ring is a thirty-segment polygon pushed off true by a sinusoid whose amplitude grows with the index, and both stroke weight and opacity fall away as the rings get larger.
