This generative art work is heavily influenced by Karl Sims' "Genetic Images" (1993).

A composite mathematical function made from sines, Heaviside step functions, multiplies, and additions translates the two dimensional information of position at each pixel to a point in the three dimensional red-green-blue colourspace.

The function includes discontinuities which shatter the smooth surface into shards.

The function is found through a process of artificial evolution where the value of another function of the resulting image is maximised.
