The project focuses on the catenary curve , the natural U-shape a chain or cable assumes under its own weight when supported at its ends.
The catenary curve is vital in architecture, used in the design of arches (like the Gateway Arch) and suspension bridges to ensure stability.
The "kitties" were hand-drawn using Adobe Fresco . Catenary Kitties – Fractal Kitty
Project Overview: Catenary Kitties is a generative math-art project created by Sophia Wood , better known as Fractal Kitty . Developed in January 2022 for the "Architecture" prompt of Genuary —a month-long creative coding challenge—the project blends hand-drawn digital art with mathematical code to explore the aesthetic of suspension curves. Key Components
This project is part of a larger series including other math-cat hybrids like the Hyperbolic Kittyoid , Klein Bottle Kitty , and Cantor Set Kitty Kong . The project focuses on the catenary curve ,
Fractal Kitty frequently integrates advanced mathematical concepts into whimsical cat-themed art.
The generative logic and interactive elements are written in p5.js , a JavaScript library for creative coding. Project Overview: Catenary Kitties is a generative math-art
