Schotter

Georg Nees (born 1926) is considered one of the founders of generative art. In his seminal work Schotter (1968), Nees investigates the relationship between order and disorder.

The original code most likely got lost. It was written in ALGOL for a Zuse Graphomat drawing machine operated by computer-generated punched tape. Here is my recode in Processing using inverse engineering from the original artwork. Part of the GAR project (bit.ly/gen-art-recode)

Can code become a piece of art?
