𝕣𝕒𝕟𝕕𝕠𝕞 𝕠𝕞𝕚𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕠𝕟 is a simple yet elegant idea that Vera Molnar used in her pieces. I was inspired by her untitled piece that is just a grid of stacked squares, but with some randomly omitted. I first recreated the original in P5JS (first image):

It is a great exercise for people learning creative coding since it introduces a basic generative principle, how to split a canvas and draw within a grid, and demonstrates how simple rules can produce cool results. Shown below within the grid and the eight points visualised.
