Artist(s): Aaron Javier Juarez
Title: Special Triangles of Pi
Medium: digital art - Python scripting language (Numpy and Matplotlib)
The Artist Says: This work conveys the special right triangles [red (30-60-90 deg), green (45-45-90 deg), and blue (60-30-90 deg) triangles] and their angles found from the unit circle. Along the vertical center of the piece are equilateral triangles whose sides are scaled by a factor of pi from one another. The "fog" effect of the color in the background is actually many encircling circles with varying opacity. In fact, all the gradients you see are illusions, created by many stacked shapes with varying colors.
