Penrose Tile Wall
Maker Faire Bay Area 2024
October 18th-20th
The Penrose tile wall is an 18 by 9 foot illuminated wall made up of 900 Penrose tiles. The tiling system was designed by Sir Roger Penrose in the 1970s. The animations are generated in real time using animation functions with random parameters so that it never looks the same. It has been shown publicly at Burning Man, and downtown Sacramento.
