Mathematical functions used in physics turn into an ethereal structure. A fragile spaceport.

White light is turned into rainbow colors by a diffraction grating, a set of fine lines displaced by fractions of a millimeter.

The curves forming the Sparse Spectral Spaceport are built from the curves that describe how the intensity of colored, diffracted light changes with direction.

This dark image illuminated by the graphs of mathematical function is an amalgam of the phenomenon as you see it - diffracted, rainbow-colored light, and the underlying mathematics. Both are beautiful.

elkement is crafting virtual sculptures with code (no AI!) and with pencils - structures based on mathematical functions. Her art is based on and inspired by physics, engineering, and tech. Inspired by the aesthetics of vintage patent drawings and by Sir Roger Penrose’s handcrafted sketches, elkement is searching for the nexus of science and art.

elkement enjoys spotting the uncanny in the allegedly simple and mundane. Having created virtual three-dimensional structures with code, she is always searching for an unusual perspective to challenge preconceived notions. She often juxtaposes her visual art with her Found Poetry when she presents her art (at elkement.art).

Recurring motifs in elkement's digital art are diffraction patterns. Since early childhood, elkement had been fascinated by the pure spectral colors of the rainbow and by the physics underlying their creation. Forming structures from diffraction patterns that are both based on exact math and that resemble the patterns you actually see encapsulates the beauty of the phenomena as everybody can experience them, as well as the beauty of the underlying math. 

elkement is a physicist by training who fondly remembers her high school classes in descriptive geometry and fine art.
