Inspiration & Approach
Inspiration for this piece came from "Three Space" (2013) by Lewis Syke. In this, Skye covers nearly all the screen with his visuals, and incorporates visuals such as patterns of dots and light beams. A long with this he has a nearly constant spiral pattern in his work, creating a calm and pleasing aesthetic.
Along with this obvious visual inspiration from ‘Three Space’, the concept of making ‘audible visible’ was an approach used in making this piece. By making the algorithms smooth and also transition in a certain pattern, creates a visual rhythm, making it a more interactive piece to a viewer.
Algorithms
Recursive algorithms, where functions call themselves, can be seeing in the form of for loops and if statements throughout the code used. These for loops and if statements call different functions and outputs.
With the use of for loops, recursive algorithms are used in this piece, and help create a For loops can count as recursive algorithms

Chaotic elements can be "random" numbers, and so, chaotic systems can be seen in this piece, including sections utilising random colour.
Stochastic elements are anything that's constrained, and are random systems that give "set" results. Stochastic elements can be seen in this piece, as it follows a template, but in a random path of its own.

Decisions
For this piece, colour was kept at a minimum in order to really highlight the movement of the visuals, and was thought maybe too much colour would drain out the smooth and planned movement of the piece.
Another choice that had to be made was the duration - was it going to be continuous forever, or have a definite end point? In this piece a decision was made to have a definitive end point, but only after a few loops of the existing code that existed. Meaning, the code that is there reacts differently as time went on, but overall, came out with the same results over time.
