Can I share some good news? I got my cats on the cover of MAA Focus. This is the second time my art has been printed on the cover of Focus. The other time was 20 years ago and a quilt. #mathart #watercolor

If you liked this thread, check out my very infrequently-updated coding blog at https://mzucker.github.io/ for other #MathArt projects and miscellaneous tinkering.

And feel free to reply with questions – I'll do my best to answer them here.

Needlessly complex

Why do it by hand if you can code it in just quadruple the time?

New #MathArt sculptures: reaction-diffusion Truchet tilings of the sphere! These are made from 3D-printed nylon and each individual tile can be removed/replaced.

If you think these look cool or interesting, stick around to learn a little bit about how they were made and the math behind them... 🧵

🎨✨ Ah, the magical world of spherical harmonics: where math meets art and only #JavaScript can save you from the abyss of #confusion. 🤔📉 If you're a #graphics programmer who enjoys being baffled by mathematical hieroglyphics, this is your Everest. 🏔️🔍

Rectangle Regions

Made this in Processing using a frame buffer where each point was made to be part of any number of rectangles, and the color of an intersecting region is obtained by adding up the colors of the component rectangles and performing a modulus operation.

The algorithmic temperature chart progresses – I've done down to the 24th January, with the grey blanks in for the first 24 days of the other quarters of the year. I can see there's going to be some quite colourful bits later in the year.

A butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil. A tornado forms in Texas. Edward Lorenz's famous attractor, visualized in 3D. 60,000 iterations, one iconic double-wing structure. Glowing hot, cooling into deep space.

No AI. Just differential equations, Python, and the poetry of chaos.

The butterfly flies. Chaos is beautiful.

An external tiling, Brick Lane Mosque, London

The whole tiling can light up at night (there's a photo near the end of https://bricklanejammemasjid.org.uk/gallery)
