  1. More work from my Final Major Project at Arts University Plymouth. These mesmerising pieces are made up of meticulously inlaid veneers of wood that are inserted into laser engraved plywood.

    Each artwork was initially digitally drawn up by me over many many hours which then were transferred into a usable format to be laser engraved - which took another 5 and a half hours!

    The work is greatly inspired by computer scientist/mathematician Craig S Kaplan (@csk) and his generative zellij work. My work displays that the algorithmic potential of Islamic Geometric Patterns and the time-tested traditions of woodcrafts can belong together in an artistic context.

  6. Over the past several months I've been working on "Divisions," a series of paintings based off of an algorithmic core. These two paintings are part of the set of work that I'll be showing during Marin Open Studios this weekend (and next).

    (I've also thrown in an in-progress shot that gives you a peek into the world of tape insanity that I've created for myself with these new works. 😅)

    Please stop by if you're in the neighborhood!

  11. Algorithmic Listening Party w/ Epiploke

    Entropia, Thursday, April 30 at 06:00 PM GMT+2

    Algorithmic Listening Party
    Friday 30. April 2026
    Entropia e.V. Steinstraße 23, 76133 Karlsruhe

    People have danced to algorithms throughout history, including the Ancient Greeks. Epiploke is such an algorithm, evident in fragments of Ancient Greek texts, where metrical short-long structure is shifted in patterns. In this algorithmic listening session Lucy Cheesman and Alex McLean will explore Ancient Greek narratives and patterns with live code (TidalCycle), bringing together fragments of structures from different texts, including instances of epiploke, as well as incorporating audio descriptions from Homer and reconstructions of Homeric instrumentation. Also joining the evening are artists Janani Suresh Ram, Froos and pastagang, and the locals elmo and grainn.

    18:00–19:30 Epiploke talk
    Alex McLean & Lucy Cheesman

    20:00–23:00 listening party
    bharatanatyam: yaxu x Janani Suresh Ram / elmo / Epiploke / grainn / ravioli: pastagang

    brought to you by toplap ka x entropia x haecksen
    keep it boring!

  14. Ah, yes, the riveting saga of someone discovering that #coding isn't just for apps and websites, but for "art" too 🎨🤖. Who knew that slapping together random algorithms could be rebranded as a "vocabulary" of self-expression? 🙄 114 sketches later, and we've unlocked a new frontier: The #Art of Saying Nothing with Code. 🖥️💥

  15. It was twenty years ago today
    Sam L Jackson fought the snakes in air
    They've been going in and out of memes
    Guess they're funny if you're in your teens
    So may I just remind you of
    The act you've known for all these years
    Monty Python's "Hovercraft full of eels".

  16. I've been playing with a very simple approach to meandering paths. I'm not sure if I'm getting anywhere with these, but I thought I'd post some of the tests so far.

    The problem with the 2D idea is that the paths will easily wander off the screen. So I thought I'd put them on a spherical surface to contain them. It turned out this isn't quite trivial, and I had to rethink what directions and turns actually mean there. It all came down to the Non-Euclidean nature of the sphere. A straight-line direction there means a great circle, but no two great circles can be parallel. So directions and positions are rather closely linked. This is in contrast to Euclidean geometry, where you can go from any point into any direction.

  17. It's probably a lost cause and also too short notice, but I'm still thinking about #AlgoApril, which I proposed back in 2022, but it's an incomplete list of prompts and sadly never took off...

    github.com/algoapril/algoapril

    From the readme:

    Learning about & applying algorithms and data structures for generative art/design, helping to introduce participants to a wider spectrum of techniques.

    Unlike other initiatives like #genuary, #codevember, #nodevember etc., all of which are predominantly using visual/conceptual prompts, the focus of the #AlgoApril initiative is on algorithmic literacy, using technical, algorithmic prompts (of course, with some [visual] references and study materials) without further prescribing how these algorithms should be used. The only aim, goal and hope is for people to creatively engage with these techniques, breaking 'em, hacking 'em and finding interesting uses to create outcomes, which could be considered artistic. Algorithmic layering is encouraged at each turn!

    In some sense, this more "bottom-up" approach to creation is maybe alien to some, but the lack of explicit aesthetic or conceptual/artistic goals has the potential to produce a much wider scope of outcomes (hopefully not only visual - audio, text and other outputs are highly encouraged!). There's also hope it could be more educational, helping people to engage with a larger repertoire of fundamental algorithmic tools and then apply & mix them in their own work/practice.

    Many of the topics & algorithms selected here will have a more or less known visual representation and we encourage everyone to consciously reject these clichés and make honest attempts to find creative other solutions to visualize/sonify/represent them.

    --

    In any way, I'll be following the #AlgoApril hashtag and boosting relevant outcomes to help circulation. I'm currently on a few deadlines, so not sure how much I can contribute myself, but might post some of my own prior art related to the prompts...
