ARTIST Inspired by the possibility of math and code, Piter Pasma’s background in the competitive demoscene of the late 1990s honed his expertise in writing algorithms in their most efficient form. He is known for using mathematical functions to describe three-dimensional generative scenes, executed using his “rayhatcher” algorithm, which creates plottable line art, and uses a minimal amount of code.

WORK Vareniyam is a generative project that invites you on a journey of exploration by means of randomness. Choose which parameters to re-roll and mark your favourites to find something magnificent that nobody else could have discovered.

COLLECTION Vareniyam is a Sanskrit word from the Gayatri mantra, in context of which it means “chosen” or “desirable”. After dissecting an endless ocean between possible infinity and infinite possibility, the artist came up with five orthogonal directions to be the guiding beacons. The public is invited on a journey of exploration to collect their favourite souvenirs. 

Being a game of Hyperyahtzee where the stakes are infinite, it perfectly illustrates the endless possibilities technologies offer to add value in society and therefore Vareniyam is a logical addition to the Copernicus Collection.
