It's really tricky to spread the word about events these days! I don't support corporate social media and you don't get read attention there anyway, mailing lists aren't what they once were, and this event wants to reach people across many patterny disciplines..

Any help spreading the word across all the strange pattern-obsessed communities much appreciated!

Algorithmic Pattern is a new festival and conference for people curious about the practice and culture of algorithmic pattern-making, across algorithmic music, arts and craft. The first edition will take place both in Sheffield UK and online, during September 2025.
The call for talks/papers is now open, deadline 2nd June - please see our website for details: https://2025.algorithmicpattern.org/call/

This had me captivated for a good five minutes. I just kept watching how the patterns matched up, trying to parse out the connections in my brain.

Who knew an animation of a Rubik鈥檚 Cube and some corresponding concentric circles could be so stimulating?

I have absolutely no idea who created it. Tried to find out to no avail. (Happy to edit with a citation if someone knows.)

A Rubik鈥檚 Cube, depicted on the right as a three-dimensional rendering, is modeled on the left as a series of overlapping concentric circles. Each sub-face of the cube is a colored dot, and each rotation of the cube corresponds to a rotation of the dots along one of the circles. The dots always fall at the overlaps of two circles, representing that they can always be moved in two different directions.
