About me

I'm Nathan Boisleux, a student at the IIM (Institut de l'Internet et du Multimédia).

I like the seam where code, geometry and design meet — where a handful of mathematical rules turns into an image you didn't fully foresee.

For Genuary 2026 I set one rule for the whole month: everything is pen-plotter art. Lines only, no AI images, five fixed inks — work a machine could physically draw. I rebuilt it all on Jean-Paul Delahaye's 1985 plotter library, so each piece is a small dialogue between 1985 BASIC and 2026 JavaScript.

Generative art

Generative art is made by an autonomous system: the artist designs a set of rules, then lets the process run. You don't place every line — you place the method.

Randomness, recursion, symmetry groups, cellular automata and mathematical curves become the brush. Run the same program twice and you get two images — both stamped by the rules that made them.

Lineage: Vera Molnár, Frieder Nake & Georg Nees (1960s) → Delahaye's home-computer book (1985) → p5.js, plotters & Genuary today.

The five inks

• acid yellow → cobalt blue
• cobalt blue → acid yellow
• sand → oxblood · sea → teal · ochre → navy
