7 Factorial #14

I've been fascinated with the idea of using the Computer to visually enumerate all possible states in a system. Typically, a long-form art collection has 100s of mints, chosen from billions of billions of possible outputs. However, it is totally possible and (in my opinion) fascinating to explore much more constrained systems, ones where we can express and appreciate each item of the enumeration in the context of all possible outputs. This series, "7 Factorial", represents one of the simplest possible enumerations, namely all of the ways to permute (order) a set of items. The permutations are drawn as sorting networks, visualizing each permutation as the displacement of its constituent elem...View all
