Description

The phases of the moon are mysterious, but they also conform to the underlying mathematics of orbital dynamics. These cosmic rhythms served as inspiration for Jared Tarbell when he created his series Ray Marching the Moon: Full & New. 

The generative digital works in the series consist of two styles: black with white lines delineating clusters of circles, and similar compositions made with an array of black lines and stripes in muted colors. Over the course of a year, the dark works were released during new moon phases, while the colorful ones were released in sync with the full moon. The lines and circles are made through a mathematical process called ray marching, where lines are divided into smaller segments and functions are applied at the points of division. Here, the segments define the forms of otherwise invisible spheres where they intersect.
