Survey of the Salt Crust, generative plate from seed 3113382390Forty-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 3113382390 in the Kyrenia Blue palette. © 2026 artcyp.com

The order of the decisions is fixed. Only the looking is loose.

Provisional the Ninth Hour, generative plate from seed 2124372134Streamlines 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 2124372134 in the Kyrenia Blue palette. © 2026 artcyp.com
