one million lines by Nate Alex - CryptoCube#7 #1/1

I've often considered the process to be as interesting, and sometimes more so, than the final creation. I went into this project with a simple goal: create a generative piece inspired by CryptoCube#7. The main design elements I borrowed were the color scheme and shape. #7 was fairly compact, overall cubic, and had a wide range of cube sizes. I decided to draw a cube with nothing but randomly plotted lines. These lines would be drawn between the frame edges of a cube, defined by sketching the frame out on a 10x10 grid. This process would be reused again and again to create the multi-cube pieces. These would have additional plots of their respective starter cube, with random sizes and pl...View all
