Munari Schunari

Recently, I read "Design as Art" by Bruno Munari. Now, one of the things that I find really irritating is when I buy a book which purports to be an original work by the author, and it turns out to be reprinted journalism or other "collected writings". And so this volume turned out to be. My chagrin wasn't lessened when I found out that Munari stated his central premise (that form should follow function) in the first few pages, then proceeded to reiterate ad nausiem.
Munari was also a terrible futurologist. I soon realised that any sentence that started "The home of the future will have..." would end badly. If he had been correct, we would all be living in traditional Japanese style houses, projecting coloured patterns onto our walls for entertainment. Thank God we invented the interweb.
However, tucked away in one of later chapters was a description of how to create Moire patterns using grids of squares or other geometric shapes. Munari wrote about using transparent slides and an overhead projector, but the thought struck me that these patterns would be very easy to creat digitally using an image editor.
So I had a go and the process turned out to be quite addictive. Three of the best patterns are shown above. They're not very original - there are probably countless hotel lobbies with floors tiled just like these, but experimenting is fun and distracts me from some of the other stuff that's going on in my life.
I'll continue with this until I get bored and/or run out of inspiration and I may post some more patterns if they're presentable.
