I made some kaleidoscopic images of Buffalo buildings. I thought they would be fun as a quiz on BRO. Some are easy while others are tougher. Can you guess which building this is by just examining the detail?
I used PaintShop Pro software, which has a kaleidoscope feature. I plug in variables such as how many sides the shape should have (2-20) and the scale, that sort of thing. Since it samples and repeats a small part of the image it takes some trial and error to get interesting results, but it’s hypnotic…
I’m always interested in how architectural elements create patterns, but we usually experience those patterns within the form of a rectangular grid. It’s fun to see how the same elements we see every day look so much more exotic when made into other shapes besides a rectangle.
