Print of digital art, 24”x20” (framed), 2008.
This is the computed Fourier transform of a constant linear measure placed on a piecewise-linear approximation to the space-filling Sierpinski Curve. The curve itself is shown in the lower-left corner. The reduced art appears gray, but in the original each pixel has a hue determined by its complex phase. The transformation was computed by the Geometric Nonuniform Fast Fourier Transform.

"Over the course of earning my Ph.D., I've become fascinated by the fact that in generating images for the most utilitarian of purposes (debugging, testing hypotheses, and the like) the most useful images are usually also the most aesthetically pleasing."
