ALT The node is an elementary unit to build structures in computer science. Here they have been arranged in an Archimedean spiral. The distribution of node sizes is determined using the Power Law. While the code for this algorithm is quite simple, evidence of a higher order persists. These images come from an early build of a demonstration video game project. Construction parameters were hand picked for each of the five generations.

ALT A deep zoom looks into regions of an interconnected complete graph. Hundreds of nodes are placed at the perimeter of a circle. Each node is connected to every other node forming the complete graph. Hand picked regions look so deep into the construction that we perceive chaos in an otherwise highly ordered system. I have been using complete graphs ever since I first learned how to connect nodes. It's natural and enjoyable to take a computational system to its extreme.

ALT Fields of mandalas are composed of curious floral workmanship. Hand illustrated flower varieties are arranged in patterned rings. Occasional recursive constructions emerge within an infinite number of configurations. I wrote this program to emulate the coloring pages my daughters like to work on. I use images like this to meditate and stimulate creativity.
