A still image of “Symmetry” by Vishal Kumar, a work of data art created using computer software. The algorithm used to produce this work uses the parametric equations of 12 circles to draw and connect their X and Y coordinates. Randomisation is then added so the interactions between the coordinates is never the same. Image courtesy of Vishal Kumar.
