A Bird in Flight

A Bird in Flight are bird-like geometric patterns that were introduced by mathematical artist Hamid Naderi Yeganeh. Yeganeh has created these figures by combing through tens of thousands of computer-generated images. They are defined by trigonometric functions. An example of such patterns is a composed of 500 line segments where for each i = 1 , 2 , 3 , , 500 the endpoints of the i -th line segment are:

( 3 2 ( sin ( 2 π i 500 + π 3 ) ) 7 , 1 4 ( cos ( 6 π i 500 ) ) 2 )

and

( 1 5 sin ( 6 π i 500 + π 5 ) , 2 3 ( sin ( 2 π i 500 π 3 ) ) 2 ) .
