I recently analyzed a work by Victor Vasarely work called DIEUZEU (c. 1981) I saw it in terms of one of my forms of spatial organization I call Subdivision. I started thinking about how I could synthesize my algorithm to create a similar look and feel.

AdieuDieu (a made-up name that could mean: Goodbye to God) is a 2 x 2 tessellation using the Subdivision algorithm as a tile (spatial force). The alternating areas created by the algorithm are either square or rectangular. The square areas are filled with concentric circles of analogous colors. The rectangular areas are filled with contiguous circles of analogous colors. I incorporated Vasarelys' trick of throwing in a random black circle 10% of the time.

The color scheme is premeditated. I use a random base color (from the infamous color wheel) as a starting point for filling the circles. I also use that same base color to formulate a triad palette assigning 2 of the 3 colors to the split background areas of the picture frame.

Of course, controlled randomness defines many of the random variables to promote serendipity.
