Hann would be proud..

There was a variety of art on show  at Siggraph, from motion work, to textiles, photogrpahy, as well as geometric/systematic arts.

"His work breaks the process of pattern construction into two steps. First, the designer chooses a tiling of the plane. Then the software places small geometric motifs in every tile, a process governed by a small set of parameters under the designer’s control. The motifs link together to form a finished design. The computer handles the tedium of precise, repetitive drawing, thus freeing the human designer to explore the space of star patterns quickly and enjoyably."


If only we had it for Design Theory assignments...
