SUDFAH
Sudfah (Arabic for "happy accident") is a generative collection celebrating the beauty that can emerge from chaos, mistakes, and accidents. A single calligraphic line intends to tell one story (sometimes wandering and confused in its own right, but always meandering from one side to the other). Digital liquid is spilled upon it and takes the ink in directions that are unexpected, uncontrolled, and tell a much more interesting story than the one the line intended.... and often more beautiful.

Every iteration of Sudfah with its minted hash. Download any size for printing or display. PNG and JPG are the full-size files, 16,000 x 11,313 px, made to print 5.3 x 3.8 ft at 250 dpi; 9000, 4000 and 2000 are the same image reduced so its longer side (16,000 px in the full file) is that many pixels. Click a hash to copy it; Live runs that iteration in the algorithm explorer; the last links open the page for that token on each platform. Algorithm explorer: run the live code yourself.
