Bio

Caleb was born in Birmingham, Alabama. His interest in math art started when he was first introduced to graphing calculators (TI-89!) as a high school sophomore (2002), and he thought "I can draw with math?!". Caleb also got his start programming in high school.

Around 2012, Caleb started started playing around with wave math in order to visualize sound. And soon thereafter, he started using similar wave math in order to do radio hacking. He demonstrated the ability to break into cars and control security systems et al by modulating radio waves (using software-defined radio).

As Caleb's fascination with waves continued, he got curious about how some of this math might look if visualized. As he was thinking about how to visualize it, an interesting question occurred to him: if typical math graphs show where an equation is exactly true (where both sides of the equation are equal)... but what would it look like to graph functions and be able to see not just where they are equal, but also where they are nearly equal (shades of gray...or COLOR).

Then, around 2018, Caleb had a series of massive ego-reducing experiences, and he started seeing more wave patterns everywhere. He started trying to recreate some of the natural wave patterns he was seeing, and just got addicted to it.

But then he decided to try to make a lot of money, and tried (and failed) to build a startup in Colombia, then burned out hard for over 3 years. And after years of trying to "should" himself into working while burned out, in January 2024, he started doing Yoga (with other exercises to help clear his lymphatic system), and realized his inner child had been throwing a tantrum because his inner parent decided to put his art mostly on hold while trying to pursue money. So he repented, and started pursuing his art HARD.

After living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for about 12 years, Caleb now lives with his family in the ~wavy~ mountains of North Georgia in a little town called LIJ.
