Algorigraph is Fabian Eck, a Hamburg-based artist who develops custom algorithms and plots their results in ink. Two early fountain-pen drawings explore how repeated lines can describe three-dimensional form. In Cloth on qube, parallel paths bend over a cube-like shape and gather into folds around its base. Mountain no.02 uses closely spaced, flowing lines to describe ridges, slopes, and a valley. Both were posted in February 2019. Together they provide references for studying surface-following linework, changes in spacing, and the transition between a regular pattern and an irregular form.
