one computable art piece by Frieder Nake

Frieder Nake has done a series of matrix multiplications in which all contain various series of squares outlines of different colors. Some lines are thicker than others while some lines are slanted while others are not.

The decisions of which colors and which sides of each squares should be filled are from a mathematic algorithm within a matrix that Nake used for several images. The result produced from it is what is the randomness of it.
