Games with Patterns 2D

Games with Patterns

Op Art can cause us emotion, since there is no clear plot, the human mind itself imagines and interprets it in its own way.

In Victor Vasarely, Kezdi-Ga, there are patterns that are modified depending on the position in which they are found or the mathematical function that is applied to them. We see the unexpected deformation of the pattern through the superimposition of a new type of pattern. We recognize 2 types of patterns that merge in the image and the Aha! effect. It is the beauty of that set. We understand the work.

Years ago I started with this type of work and this year I wanted to send a polyhedron with opart faces. Those works turned out to be unprintable.

But the 2D flat works can be printed and the ones I present show different works resulting from applying a set of alternating left-handed and right-handed motifs.

We can also repeat patterns of 1 and 0 at different distances

Something like

11111111

11111111 all the same

or, in the figure,

10101010

01010101

10101010

01010101

Or well

1001001001

0110110110

1001001001

0110110110

etc, etc where 1 is a figure with a turn to the right and 0 to the left (for example).

This way we have multiple possibilities to create beautiful patterns with only 2 base figures in a game of patterns. And this for all types of plane networks, the hexagonal, triangular, square, rectangular p and c, rhombic, and oblique, in all the Bravais networks of the plane. Or semiregular tessellations with patterns 0 and 1. Or Penrose tessellations, or, or,...

A similar case of infinite designs are the Truchet tiles.

We will see a new field of plane tessellations in which base patterns are superimposed in a finite number of flavors (rotations, rotations with colors, etc.) and we superimpose them on the 17 plane symmetry groups. We recognize 2 types of patterns that merge in the image and the Aha! effect. It is the beauty of that plan. We understand the work.

In several Bridges I presented works with 3D pursuit curves such as Sandy or Sea of Tranquility and I wanted to resume the series making an opart with polyhedra.
But when printing them there were problems, so I chose to make 2d opart tessellations
The evolution of the world's climate is going from a few decades with stable climate and orderly storms, in their time, to a disordered and unpredictable climate, with strong changes. This artwork represents this change from left to right from ordered and equal tessellations to tessellations with alternatung rotations.

The base tessellation is hexagonal but, in the middle of the figure, its design changes, resulting in a different overall pattern. But thousands of different patterns can be achieved using different flat Bravais lattices or semiregular tessellations, of Penrose, etc
