Statement

This art piece merges voxelization and Truchet tiling, discrete design techniques that share a low-poly aesthetic, bridging the gap between art, mathematics, and technology. Using these techniques, an abstract geometric shape is formed, utilizing a set of voxels with zigzag polylines to create an optical illusion of movement and depth. The polylines add another layer of complexity. The joints have a spherical shape corresponding to the tangents' degrees. The result showcases endless possibilities of digital art, inviting viewers to contemplate its form, which may appear to be several objects at once.

Imagine the endless possibilities of digital creation when you combine two discrete design techniques to create something truly unique and inspiring. We are all familiar with the low-poly aesthetic of voxel art, popularized by games like "Minecraft". But what if we took this concept to the next level by combining it with the Truchet tiling method? Combining voxel art with Truchet tiling can produce versatile and intricate abstract artwork using just one type of voxel. The fusion of these two techniques showcases the limitless possibilities of digital creation, inspiring others to explore the boundaries of art and technology.
