This study conducted in 2019 as a part of a master’s thesis supervised by Assoc. Prof. Sema Alaçam, Architectural Design Computing Ph.D. Program (MBL) in Istanbul Technical University, partially funded by Istanbul Technical University’s Scientific Research Project Foundation (MYL-2018–41225), with thanks to everyone who helped shape VRiC’s early stages.
Derived from and inspired by Chladni patterns and cymatics, this study aims tocontribute to the algorithmic visualizations of mathematical functions in computerprogramming environment which has led to exploration and creation of variouspatterns. Mathematical operations which derived from periodic functions associatedwith different variables to control patterns. Software called Cymatify is introducedwhich developed i n Processing. Cymatify allows users to generate patterns bymodifying mathematical functions and variables. In the scope of this study, outcomesof the pattern generation will be discussed in the context of complexity,unpredictability and diversity of the patterns.
Keywords: Chladni patterns, cymatics, periodic functions, pattern generation,Processing, graphical user interface (GUI), software.
