Algorithmic art room

geometric meditations on khayyam

Welcome to the algorithmic art room. It's a place where even the simplest rules can generate worlds of fascinating, unexpected patterns. To fully experience the exhibit, you should try your hand with the interactive pieces and create your own artistic medleys. $binary fractal maker$ I had no didactic purpose in designing this page. Its only raison d'être is the great pleasure that writing these programs have given me, and the fun you might have during your visit. So please sit back and have a pleasant stay.
