I have two wolves inside me—a mathematician and an artist—and I feed them equally well.
All of my art is made without AI. I find generative AI repulsive. I have no desire to use it, nor do I wish to collaborate with anyone who uses it.

Two knight's tour (32x32 and 64x64). Two terms of an infinite sequence of tours.

Two knight's tour (32x32 and 64x64). Two terms of an infinite sequence of tours.
An open knight's tour of a 128x128 chessboard. The knight starts in the lower left corner, finishes near the lower right corner, and visits each of the sixteen 32x32 regions in the same order that they'd be visited by a second-stage Hilbert curve. #mathart

A knight's tour of a 32x32 chessboard. The knight's path is unicursal. If you start in the lower left corner and follow the path move by move, you will visit each square once and only once and end near the lower right corner. Inspiration: Szpakowski's linear ideas. #mathart #mathsart #orms #chess

Three knight's tours of a 32x32 chessboard. Each contains the set of edges (knight's moves) shown in the top left. Each is a single unicursal path that can be traced without lifting one's writing implement from the paper. #mathart

Ayliean MacDonald's #MathArtMarch Day 31: Change
I had some change in the form of pennies from Barbados, so I arranged them into what I think is the smallest 3-regular penny graph.
Each penny touches exactly three others.

It's a great question! Is Conway's CA art? I have used it to make images like the one I've shared, and some might call these images art (but others might not). By the way, most of my shared pattern is a stable pattern, a "still Life." But the glider lurking in the bottom right corner will spoil it.
