Inspired by similarities in geometry and nature from the micro to the macro scale, I wanted to create a generative system; a game that would combine these similarities, exposing a certain language of life through the lense of math, nature and machine learning.

After watching Mathologer’s video on times tables visualization and recreating a version in Processing with the help of Daniel Shiffman, I was excited to find the same patterns repeated by nature, as well as cymatic patterns, in such a seemingly basic equation. 

I wanted to pose the question, “Is there a mathematical, spatial, frequency based language we can experience?”

The generated images transition together with the times tables visualization, providing the opportunity to mix patterns and save combinations by manipulating the number of points and the multiplication factor with the mouse position.
