qTrees by Alexander Reben (artBoffin) is a generative art series which explores branching and recursion. In this case, a quadtree algorithm partitions a square space into 4 sub squares, then for each of those squares it decides if it should then divide those by 4, and so on until it reaches an end state. Each one of the created squares are then filled with content. This creates a pleasing aesthetic and a way to produce artworks out of individual elements, a type of complexity arizing out of simplicity (and sometimes there’s a binary tree)."
