Keith Powers -Art From Code – 2009

 

Math and geometrical shapes are intriguing to me because of their simple beauty. I admire this project for taking a single mathematical concept and then creating a whole new design from it by using a random function, when technically its not random in the first place because it was calculated. So this project was made from random lissajous webs. The lissajous curve is a graph of a equations that describe harmonic motions. Keith Powers would change the way the picture looked by changing the amplitude and frequency. Powers is able to express his art work by presenting how a simple geometrical graph is able to create a complex dark image that causes the viewer to wonder what the picture might have sounded like or how the webs are similar to a spiders web itself. The way he spread the contrasting dark points also causes your eye to go around the whole page and just make it pleasing to look at.
