This plot is a great example of one of my favourite aspects of algorithmic art: when a single elegant process leads to a dense and intricate outcome. Here, a cube has been split into hundreds of smaller cubes, the size of which is modulated by their distance from the centre. This equation can be written in a single line, but the outcome, when plotted, is a rich and detailed visual texture. This was the first in a short series of plots exploring a series of related ideas, but it remains my favourite of the set for the simplicity of its composition and the richness of its realisation.
