Infinite Knots by Patrick Gunderson

About the project:

Data are taken from two images. One is a color map, the other is a bump map of sorts. The color map only controls the colors of the stroke. while the bump map controls the width of the stroke, within pre-set limits.

The motion is primarily controlled via epicyclic motion, inspired by early attempts by astronomers to make celestial motion make sense in a terre-centric model of the universe. Given enough epicycles and non-rhythic periods, the motion can become quite chaotic and appear to be wholly random.
