Ex-Gaussian 1 (R code, 8/17/2021). This generative artwork is part of a three-part iteration series (numbered 1,2,3). The title of this refers to the ex-Gaussian distribution, which governed the sizes of colored squares in the background, and partially transparent white circles in the foreground. Tile gradient fill colors were height-dependent, followed by overlain square outlines in varied shades of gray and random line widths. Each circle was shifted upward based on radius size, which sank the smaller circles to the bottom and raised the larger circles. A similar scheme to the tiles was used to create concentric, jittered circles within each. Partly transparent white bands were drawn using polygons defined by pairs of concentric circles. The image dimensions are 20x20 inches and 300 DPI, which produced a file size below the limit, which provides a higher resolution (more detail) than the original version shown online.
