These are visualizations of eight different ways of shuffling 64 cards created by Roger Antonsen. I find concrete visualizations of rather complex mathematical concepts to be intriguing, and the output is splendid. The author created the project alone, and I wasn’t able to find a reliable source about his work process. Antonsen was inspired by Perci Diaconis, and wanted to experiment with exploring the various permutations underlying the shuffling methods. This art is also a complement to an academic paper he wrote Card Shuffling Visualization
This work resonates with me in particular because of my own interest in mathematics and pattern-finding. Visualizing abstract ideas to give tangibility and accessibility to daunting concepts intrigues me.
