Sacks Spiral / Prime Spiral

  Post Author: Pen Plot Line Dot Project Year: 2026 This project shows how a mathematical rule can generate a physical drawing. By arranging whole numbers along a spiral and marking the primes, it makes numerical relationships visible as curved patterns. Students can explore how mapping numbers to positions changes what they see, while the […]

Golden-Ratio Moiré

  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 moirĂ© 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, […]
