Janet Lee – Looking Outwards – 06

Martin Krzywinski is a scientist who focuses his study in bioformatics by using computer science to understand biological data. He started to create random art by using pi in 2013 on Pi day. He used different colors for each circle and then folded them all together as a spiral so that it would represent the whole digits of pi. Krzywinski mentioned that the whole purpose of art is for people to awaken their emotions about math and to start conversations about numbers and randomness. His algorithm was to use pi in his art work which made it more interesting to look at.
