Written Images is a generative art project spearheaded by Martin Fuchs and Peter Bichsel, showcasing programmed artwork by dozens of international artists using tools like Processing, openFrameworks, and Cinder. The project culminates in a unique printed book where every copy is individually calculated, making each one a one-of-a-kind artifact at the intersection of code and fine art.

✎ Aaron's Site of the Week
I stumbled across a sprawling, hand-built site by a Seattle electrical engineer who spent his commute treating highway traffic like a physics experiment, and ended up writing one of the most fascinating things I've ever read about why traffic jams exist. It's got GIF animations from the late '90s, years of reader comments, and a genuinely useful trick that one single driver can use to erase stop-and-go waves.
