ARTCYP Art in Cyprus, and a machine that draws Ελληνικά
Survey of Copper Spoil, generative plate from seed 12507852Forty-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 12507852 in the Buffer Grey palette. © 2026 artcyp.com

This is the only version. There were never any others.

Reading of Standing Water, generative plate from seed 606658685Streamlines through a fixed vector field. Each of 220 lines starts at a random point and takes 110 steps of five units, turning at every step by the sum of three sinusoids of its current position. A line stops early if it leaves the plate. Roughly one line in seven is drawn in an accent rather than the ink colour, and each is given its own width and opacity. This plate is seed 606658685 in the Buffer Grey palette. © 2026 artcyp.com

It could have been drawn on paper in 1968 by somebody very patient.
