Combining it all - and celebrating it all: Physics, math, engineering, and code! A collage of code-generated art (no AI!) with a digital drawing - both showing diffraction curves mounted on circles. As if light diffracted by a double slit in the center of the structure would be captured on cylindrical screens. Code art created with custom JavaScript [...]
Combining it all - and celebrating it all: Physics, math, engineering, and code! A collage of code-generated art (no AI!) with a digital drawing - both showing diffraction curves mounted on circles. As if light diffracted by a double slit in the center of the structure would be captured on cylindrical screens.

Code art created with custom JavaScript code using threejs, based on the physics of diffraction and black body radiation.

Drawing created with a digital pen in Procreate, using the tools for circles and straight lines to mimic ruler and compass in a geometrical construction. Traditional axonometry, intended to resemble vintage technical drawings - a main source of inspiration for me!

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.

This gallery profile was in March 2022. Profits for artworks created in 2022 go to Ukraine aid - to 'Cards for Ukraine' - a small, transparent organization helping Ukrainian refugees in Austria.
