2026-09-01
Post Author: Degenerate Generated Project Year: 2026 This project shows how a hand-operated drawing mechanism can produce complex patterns through repeated geometric movements. Overlapping spirographic lines create a moiré effect, where additional bands and curves appear between the drawn lines. Students can explore how gear ratios, pen positions and overlapping layers affect the result, […]
