3D Minimum Spanning Trees: Algorithmic Art on the Surface of a Sphere
Imagine a surface of a sphere filled with a multitude of random points, each to be connected by lines in the most efficient manner possible.
The concept of a minimum spanning tree comes to our aid.
What is a minimum spanning tree?
A minimum spanning tree constructs a network of lines that connect all points while minimizing the total length of these connections.
Through a process of finding the shortest paths and uniting them into a tree-like structure.
What is algorithmic art?
Algorithmic art, also known as generative art, is a form of art that is created through the use of computer programming and algorithms.
The artist designs a set of rules or instructions using code, and then uses a computer to execute these instructions to generate the artwork.
The results are unique and often unpredictable creations that are shaped by both the artist's design and the inherent randomness or complexity of the algorithm.
