Title: Aliasing Artifacts and Accidental Abstract Art Abstract: Once, while using a program I wrote for drawing Voronoi diagrams, I accidentally produced a surprising picture that I was unable to explain at the time. That picture led to an exploration of various ways that families of images can arise as a result of (now deliberate) aliasing. I present some of these images, and use them to explain how my original surprising Voronoi diagram came to be.
