ARTCYP Art in Cyprus, and a machine that draws Ελληνικά
Crossing at a Held Breath, generative plate from seed 1009255437Forty-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.

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 1009255437 in the Kypros Copper palette.

Every line had a reason, and none of the reasons was taste.

The rule does not know it has finished.

Crossing at an Empty Frequency, generative plate from seed 1695391926Three grids of parallel lines drawn over one another and rotated about the centre: one at zero, one at a small angle between 1.2 and 7.2 degrees, and a third at a negative fraction of that angle in an accent colour. The interference figure is never drawn. It is what your eye does with three grids that do not quite agree. This plate is seed 1695391926 in the Kypros Copper palette. © 2026 artcyp.com
