Random geometric patterns created by Greek visual designer Dimitris Ladopoulos.
Ladopoulos applies an algorithm within the 3D animation program Houdini, which splits rectangles vertically, then horizontally, forming gilded patterns that resemble circuit boards and abstract architectural landscapes. Sez he:
“The number of splits is randomly selected from a given max. The outcome is fed to the loop, again and again, depending on the number of user defined iterations. A seed value and slight alterations of the algorithm produce a variety of results.

Like Donald Trump’s grassroots supporters in the US, the gilets jaunes deeply distrust traditional media.
“Journalistes, collabos, journalistes, collabos,” they chant in front of television, radio and newspaper headquarters. Journalists are regarded as part of the elite, and as “collaborators” of the Macron administration.
…The future of Europe, as well as the future of France, is at stake in Macron’s struggle quell the gilets jaunes.
Le gulp.
