I browsed through various articles showcasing beautiful randomized computational art, but the artwork that I found the most unique was Rami Hammour’s “A Text of Random Meanings“.
Hammour is an architectural designer based in Brooklyn, NY and has garnered his artistic attention through his sporadic, yet structured artworks. For this piece in particular, I admire the randomized bars and lines that look like a collection of mazes, or a labyrinth. Hammour creates this effect using a random number generator to visually create 18 lines of a “Registers and Taps” coupled with python scripts. The drawing comparing three different registers of 9, 11, and 13. I can see how Hammour’s artistic sensibilities manifest into this randomly simulated artwork because he aims to create random yet systematic pieces, and blend both the natural randomness of mathematics with artistic mapping.
