This is an algorithmic drawing by Roman Verostko from 1990. It shows how math can make art. The artist wrote his own code to run a pen plotter. Verostko built the machine to hold many pens at once. That let him draw tiny, intricate lines across the page. His work helped start a whole group called The Algorists. Look up Roman Verostko next.
