Looking into chaos theory for a programming project led to an interest in strange attractors as art. Now I generate and print mathematical visualisations
Still figuring it all out

Researching transistor history for work ended up at point contact transistors and early Bell Labs experiments. Now I build early era electronics from scratch as a weekend project

Reacher Quarry
