A pen plot on white paper of a large number of overlapping, concentric arcs in portrait orientation grouping, swirling around the page in primary CMYK inks but mixing to create secondary colors bounded by a black box.

Detail from a pen plot on white paper of a large number of overlapping, concentric arcs in portrait orientation grouping, swirling around the page in primary CMYK inks but mixing to create secondary colors bounded by a black box. The detail focuses on a middle showing the individual pen strokes of the arcs in a multitude of colors.

Truchet țile curves have to be one of my favorites, diving over and under with endless paths to explore.

Here’s my contribution to an Instagram challenge, a non-competitive design game played with printed tiles. Play solo or in a small group. Make your own from the link:

create infinite complexity from a few simple variants. Simple connections, yet the accumulated decisions generate patterns that feel almost biological.

Watch Truchet tiles rotate through many possibilities. Each frame shows the same system expressing different aspects of its potential. Infinite variation from finite rules: the creative constraint paradox in motion.

Truchet Silhouette 3. Multidesign tiles laid out in Paragraphic by @lostminds.bsky.social, plotted on cardstock with AxiDraw @bantamtools.bsky.social. 100x150mm, colorverse ink. #penplotter #plotterart #printmaking #truchettiles

I'm debating plotting this. Yes, it's an SVG - of a stereogram constructed out of a template of Truchet tiles. #stereogram #truchettiles #algorist #vectorart

Experiment with a different texture on each side of the cube and how to sort which side based on the normal vector of the SDF box. Still some tweaking and mucking about. I'd like to do something interesting with the transitions. #glsl #shader #creativecoding #generativeart #truchettiles #webgl

Ich bin immer noch fasziniert, was mit #Truchet Fliesen möglich ist.

After a little hickup it looks like it's working! Will it keep working when I start to fiddle? Stay tuned ..

Just discovered Truchet tiles. So much tot explore. Seems almost like #nodebox was made for this. #plottertwitter #penplotter #plotter #plotterlove #genart #generative #generativeart #truchet #truchettiles #makeblock #nodebox3
