The Mondrian Algorithm

            


Samuel Monnier, Swiss algorithmic artist, creates Mondrian-esque pattern pieces.

          "Through each edge of the tile, there will be a segment of line perpendicular to it. The actual location of the line segment is chosen randomly. Inside the tile, the line segment coming from all four edges are somehow combined to complete the decoration. When they are assembled, an interesting pattern appears."

He is a "layer artist" and takes the Mondrian pattern to new extremes. Check out the intricate use of color! I love how the little bright squares of yellow stipple the bigger dark squares of red and blue.
