Solving a math problem to create art [pdf]

Here's my take on the same problem (+ animations)

There are also more details+references on the algorithm which spreads the points evenly and aesthetically (Voronoi stippling).

I think Bosch is using AJ Secord's work here:

I'm also wondering if EMSLabs got the idea from him, or the other way around:

EDIT: Also, plenty of other people have tinkered with this since, for example:

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.
