Statement
Our paintings are made from a set of two symmetrical Wang proto-tiles. This set allows us to encode in the plane the digits in base 2 of a couple (x,y) of real numbers. We then use a dynamic programming algorithm to color the paths formed by the juxtaposition of the Wang tiles with the same color: the painting is created.

It is a nod to the monumental work of Monet. The table shows the algebraic independence between ln(7) and ln(8), each meander shows the complexity of the digits in base 2 of these two numbers.
