Interference
Visual
Interference is all around us. Although it is mostly invisible, it appears as visual artefacts and auditory dissonances from time to time. Whether it is the static noise received on an FM radio or the moire patterns that appear in closely spaced & repetitive geometries, it is mathematically fundamental to how our universe functions. This series is a bunch of explorations in trying to bring out these visual patterns of interference using some code and mathematical formulae.

The series primarily covers two distinct types of interference. The first one is created by trigonometric functions which are converted to greyscale pixel values and mapped onto a cartesian co-ordinate. When the frequency of these trigonometric functions are reduced to extremely high numbers, interesting macro patterns appear within the array of pixels. "Part 1" and "Part 2" of this series explore these patterns. "Part 3" and "Part 4" explores creating interesting Moire patterns. These are patterns created by the interference of closely spaced geometric lines, creating mesmerising patterns that look similar to many optical illusions.
