Truchet Tiles: Simple Geometry, Infinite Possibilities

Truchet tiles, simple square tiles with non-rotationally symmetric patterns, create surprisingly complex and captivating visual effects. First described in 1704 by Sébastien Truchet, they're now widely used in information visualization and graphic design. By varying the tile orientations, diverse patterns emerge, even creating labyrinths. Their elegant simplicity extends to programming; a single line of code can generate endless variations, highlighting the beauty of concise algorithms and infinite possibilities. This makes them a prime example of generative art.
