    I liked this person's writeup of a string art algorithm: https://michael-crum.com/string_art_generator/

    curious what algorithm drives the string placement. looks like epicycles or harmonograph but id need to dig in to tell. the accessibility part is what catches me - most of these stay in processing/p5 land

    stupid question: how does this algorithm work?

    Utterly fascinating. I could play with this for hours.

    Reminds me a bit of generative images using basic shapes (triangles, ellipses, etc) by Fogleman [1] - but ofcourse this is different.
