Polygon Etcetera is a lyrical and vibrant new algorithm arising from the playful manipulation of polygonal offsets, offering a chromatic counterpoint appropriately suited to the lush palette of Miami Beach. Represented at Art Basel 2025 in print form while existing as a series of 20 unique natively digital artworks, this is the only new algorithmic series by Cherniak to be released in 2025.

Polygon Etcetera plays with what happens when strict computational systems meet looseness of form. Cherniak starts with a three-dimensional cube grid, flattens it into two dimensions, then samples and offsets the resulting polygons.

Some planes become bold blocks of color; others break into hatching or triangular subdivisions. The image shifts between digital precision and something resembling the hand-drawn.

Collapsing depth into layered surfaces, Cherniak turns code into a language of tension: of order/intuition, structure/gesture, rational/irrational, monochrome/vibrancy, macro/micro.
