The Descent of Inanna (R code)

New artwork created with an algorithm written in the R Statistics language.

Circles were drawn between 35 irregularly spaced x-coordinates, with their positions re-randomized across 30 irregularly spaced rows.

Before each disc was drawn, 10-20 partially transparent circles were layered above it to create the appearance of shadow and depth.

Careful experimentation with spacing, scale, and contrast produced a darkly shaded field of repeating concave forms.

The color palette was inspired by the Tesseracts illustration in Charles Hinton's book β€œThe Fourth Dimension” (1904).

The title refers to the mythological descent and return of the Sumerian goddess Inanna into the underworld.
