This is a visualization of two perfect out-shuffles with 100 cards and 10 piles, not showing the two outermost cards. The inspiration for these visualizations came from attending a talk by Perci Diaconis last year. I wanted to know if I could better understand the mathematics of card shuffling by aesthetically exploring the various permutations underlying the shuffling methods. My motivation was to make these invisible structures visible and create elegant and interesting art in the process.
Made with Processing and Rhino, while attending the Illustrating Mathematics program at The Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM), continuing my attempts to visualize card shuffling and permutations.
