“G–R–I–D_-_RULES” explores the intersection of mathematics and visual aesthetics through computational pattern generation. Each piece is created using a unique combination of mathematical rules that transform simple grid coordinates into complex, organic patterns.
The artwork employs over 40 distinct algorithmic functions, including:
- Bitwise operations creating sharp, digital textures
- Trigonometric functions generating flowing, wave-like formations
- Fractal mathematics producing self-similar, recursive structure
- Modular arithmetic establishing rhythmic, periodic designs
- Prime number sequences introducing controlled randomness
- Cellular automata principles mimicking natural growth patterns
Each token represents a unique mathematical fingerprint, where simple coordinate pairs are transformed through complex logical operations into visual poetry. The binary black-and-white aesthetic emphasizes the pure mathematical nature of the generation process, recalling the work of pioneers like Frieder Nake or Georg Nees, while the intricate patterns reveal the surprising beauty hidden within computational logic.




Most of the patterns create an alternation of empty and filled spaces that suggest possibilities for interlocking and nesting. This modularity invites the viewer to engage in a kind of visual puzzle, attempting to decode the underlying mathematical relationships, a quality that transforms passive viewing into active intellectual engagement.
The collection demonstrates how rigid algorithmic rules can produce surprisingly organic and visually compelling results, bridging the gap between computational precision and artistic expression.
