Crossing at the August Reservoir, generative plate from seed 4044003280Streamlines 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 4044003280 in the Kypros Copper palette. © 2026 artcyp.com

It repeats without remembering that it is repeating.

Provisional Six Terraces, generative plate from seed 2682489562One 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.

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