information about Concentric Square Function is courtesy of the artist’s website:
“This is regular grid tessellation made up of 9 columns x 7 rows of tiles. Each tile is an interpolation between a smaller inner square and the larger outer square that contains it. The number of in-betweens in this variation is fixed and the position of the small, contained square is allowed to vary. It is translated within the larger square both horizontally and vertically by an algorithm based on the sine trigonometric function.”

“This is regular grid tessellation made up of 9 columns x 7 rows of tiles. Each tile is an interpolation between a smaller inner square and the larger outer square that contains it. The number of in-betweens in this variation is random. The position of the small, contained square is allowed to vary (translate) horizontally and vertically by controlled randomness.”
