Kolomyjec’s Moiré
Kolomyjec’s Moiré
Kolomyjec’s Moiré was my attempt at making an Algorithmic Art contribution to the Op Art Movement. It is a mandala-like image that seems to pulsate as you observe it due to the Gestalt phenomena of figure-ground. Twelve equal-length, equal-spaced lines radiate from the center. The ends of these line split into 2 and radiate out a distance. (24) At the end those lines 3 lines split out a distance. (72) At the end those lines 4 lines split out a distance. (286) At the end those lines 5 lines split out a distance, so that at the final perimeter the circle is divided into 1430 points. This was a real testament to the quality and precision of the plotter equipment I was using in the day. (Calcomp 936)
