About "Orbital Space Shuttle"

About the artwork

A spaceship from the mathematical building blocks of quantum mechanics - spherical harmonic functions!

This artwork has been created in a multi-step process, and AI has not been involved:

Each individual spaceship is drawn with hand-crafted computer code, based on the mathematical functions used in theoretical physics. A spherical harmonic function is defined by a value for each combination of "longitude" and "latitude" on the surface of a sphere. It is a surface with many "lobes". I am visualizing this surface by code-drawing lines on it, and I am actually lots of these surfaces to fill the bulk of the shape. I am using the 3D framework threejs to render these structures as objects in space, allowing me to view them from different perspectives.

In a separate - completely manual - step I am using several of the code-generated images to compose a collage, defying the laws of perspective. Smaller spaceships - farther away in my virtual cosmos - are placed closer to the viewer.

Creating this I have had my own office and desktop setup in mind: I would be happy if other tech experts, scientists, or engineers would also find joy, looking at my artworks displayed on the wall of their gaming caves or work spaces!
