Notes on the experiment
01 / The starting point
Tetris Art Generator began with a simple curiosity: what happens when you take the familiar shapes out of the game and confine them to a canvas? Arrange them symmetrically or asymmetrically, let them overlap or keep them apart, and the same small vocabulary of blocks produces very different images.
02 / In practice
Experiment with the palette, background, and arrangement, then generate another variation. It is a playful way to explore pattern, repetition, and composition, and to find out how much variety a few familiar shapes can hold.
