hypnotrohoid is inspired by the patterns of the children's toy spirograph. Such patterns are mathematically described by the hypotrochoid formula. When Sasha was writing the code, he made a mistake and a piece of life and chaos appeared in the strict algorithm. Due to the inaccuracy, the patterns became particularly engaging and immersive - this is how the name hypnotrohoid appeared.
Visual patterns are restarted every time the installation “notices” the same mistake. The algorithm turns away from the mathematically correct path and the patterns become more and more organic.
