Document Summary
Mathematics and data have long served as inspiration for artwork. Images such as fractals (at the top of pages 1 and 2) and tessellations such as the image below and at the bottom of page 3 are inspired by creative uses of mathematics. In this exercise, we will explore how to use mathematics and binary representations to craft tessellations. col0 col1 col2. An nxn magic square consists of n rows and n columns to produce n2 cells. Each cell of the magic square has a unique number and the summations of the numbers in each row and column are the same. For example, the 3x3 magic square to the right has each number 0-8 once. Every row and column sums to 12 (for example, row0: 7+0+5 = 12). The diagram to the right is a tessellation created by encoding the cells of a 4x4 magic square. Each cell encodes a 4-bit unsigned binary number (x = x3x2x1x0).
