I generated the “Von Neumann Elephant” in neon style using Python — one equation that forms an elephant 🐘

I’ve been experimenting with generative math art using a Python engine I built.
Today’s visualization is based on the classic Von Neumann Elephant curve — a surprising parametric equation that outlines the shape of an elephant.

I’m publishing one visualization every day as part of a personal project to explore how mathematical structures can become art.

Here’s today’s neon render + explanation:

Would love to hear feedback from the math and visualization community!
