The idea of “deriving many different constellations from one structure” (Gerstner, Designing Programmes) is being tested by our fellow students. Do the developed rules actually set the specified gray areas in motion? Do the new constellations achieve the desired different effects?
→ Create several groups of 4×4 elements from the 16 given grayscale areas. Each grayscale element must be used once. Choose one of the resulting patterns.
→ Quadruple your selected group of area elements. Combine these four groups into a grid of 8×8 areas. You are free to choose the method: rotating, mirroring, translating, etc.
→ Develop a rule that allows you to modify your 8×8 grid. For example, every second area element can be swapped with the next. Finalize the resulting design.
