MODULARITY IN ART

Slavik Jablan


Following the history of modularity in art, laying on the border between the art and mathematics, you will discover connections between Paleolithic ornaments, Roman mazes and labyrinths, Kufic writing, Celtic key-patterns and modern Op-art works, and explore the world of impossible objects, Celtic knotworks, Tamil, Lunda and Chokwe sand drawings...

Playing with the modular puzzles: SpaceTiles, KnotTiles and OpTiles, you could create impossible objects, knotwork designs, and Op-art works.
