It should be symmetrical enough to allow for "easy geometrical doubling" of some points. But it should be asymmetrical enough to look surprisingly different from different viewpoints! Finding uncommon ways of looking at 3D structures had been the idea behind my physics-based code art - and it should carry over to traditional drawings! Lissajous figures are built […]
