This week, we celebrate #plotparty, which is a internet challenge in pen plotting community consisting of 5 consecutive days of themes.
For June 12, &#39;Portrait&#39; is the theme. I decided to reboot some code from <a href="/plots/906">plots#906</a> and combine it again with my AI portrait used in <a href="/plots/839">plots#839</a>.
The image was generated by AI using mid journey and trying to describe myself (an artist with a hat and glasses) as I wanted to indirectly try to represent myself, making the result unpredictible and blurry in the first place.
Then, that image is used as a lookup, vectorized with generative code placing random squares. each square is made with zig zag lines that can be physically plotted.
As i myself struggle with aphantasia, i wanted to represent how it&#39;s like not to visualize (even tho my mind&#39;s eye is actually full black)

This is a rework of the bold idea by chosing to only make the bold effect every 3 words.

In some cases, the words aligned so well that they form very interesting spiral pattern inside the spiral.
