This artwork is a captivating interplay of precise algorithms and subtle randomness. Its foundation lies in a circle packing algorithm created by my collaborator, Chris Scussel. We begin by filling the canvas with two layers of these circles, generating intriguing interference patterns – the mesmerizing moiré you see here.

Imagine peacock feathers with their mesmerizing eyes, translated into precise geometric forms. The artwork employs points from a large circle, meticulously mapped to corresponding points on a smaller one. Both circles have the same number of points, which are then connected by lines, creating captivating shapes. But there's a twist! A subtle phase shift between the circles disrupts the perfect alignment, resulting in the mesmerizing moiré patterns.

Look closely, and you'll see an echo of a traditional plotter drawing technique - creating tones and values through meticulously placed lines. While black dominates, a splash of red appears randomly, 5% of the time, adding vibrancy and a counterpoint to the composition.

And that's not all! A multitude of carefully chosen random variables ensure that every refresh of the artwork unveils a unique iteration, keeping you coming back for more. So, delve into this dance of lines and circles, and uncover the hidden order within the mesmerizing chaos.

Enjoy!
