Heaven and Hell by M.C. Escher

I came across this page after watching the 3Blue1Brown video about Escher, I started digging a bit watched the Coxeter video explaining Circle Limits IV by Escher (highly recommended watching)... my immediate reaction was can you write code to create beautiful art?!

I spent few hours (maybe days) experimenting with different motifs, patterns and geometry, even with help of LLMs still couldnt get something as captivating as the original Heaven and Hell piece.

My conclusion for now... yes you can create art using code but it will never be as good, i think is the human element.. maybe is just the rigidness of binary information.

You can find my experiment here.
