Awesome – always interested in programming-related art. I was struck by the result in the article not for its novelty but for how similar it looks to a space-filling Hilbert curve https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert_curve https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert_curve. If you're interested in generative art you might like http://inconvergent.net/ http://inconvergent.net/. If you're interested in experimenting web-as-medium you might like reading/contribituing to my digital "zine": http://freezine.xyz http://freezine.xyz.

  I remember spending hours on Jared Tarbell's website when I had slow Internet and Java applets were hot : http://www.complexification.net/gallery/ http://www.complexification.net/gallery/

Here's my take on the same problem (+ animations) https://jasmcole.com/2017/01/02/the-travelling-artist-problem/ https://jasmcole.com/2017/01/02/the-travelling-artist-proble... There are also more details+references on the algorithm which spreads the points evenly and aesthetically (Voronoi stippling).

  Cool! I really like the animations!

> To create his pictures, Bosch uses a computer program toconvert a drawing (or painting or photograph) into a scattering of dots I think Bosch is using AJ Secord's work here: https://cs.nyu.edu/~ajsecord/stipples.html https://cs.nyu.edu/~ajsecord/stipples.html I'm also wondering if EMSLabs got the idea from him, or the other way around: http://www.evilmadscientist.com/2012/stipplegen-weighted-voronoi-stippling-and-tsp-paths-in-processing/ http://www.evilmadscientist.com/2012/stipplegen-weighted-vor...
