I teach theatre and math and so the places where art and science intersect have always interested me. The idea of coming up with a visual representation of Pi was tugging at the edges of my brain when this idea flooded in. I picked a set of 9 inks that I thought were compatible and randomly assigned a digit to each colour. I then wrote out the first 112 digits of Pi and drew a swatch of colour to represent each number along he curve that I had drawn. I let Pi determine the colours of the painting. I showed my wife when I was finished; her response, "man are you ever a nerd."
