i find this interesting. vaguely reminiscent
of some work from early classes of john maeda.
for example:
http://acg.media.mit.edu/courses/mas964/presentation/principles/p1/index .html
this example from peter cho is another excellent demonstration of how to create a bridge between traditional design education and emerging electronic arts.
i wonder how it might be improved, though. thoughts?

i'm amused that you think so. i just took a rigorous design course which felt reminiscent of an early class of maeda.
this piece is very strong. from a compositional standpoint, peter does a nice job of designing both positive and negative space. i like that he allows the shapes to bleed off the sides of the square; he implies the completeness of each triangle, although each triangle isn't always viewable in its entirety.
a visual weakness becomes evident when one clicks near the margins, particularly the top left corner: groupings of very small triangles are created, creating a sense of tension in the composition.
there are a number of solutions to this visual problem. i would suggest interpreting the mouse position slightly differently, so that clicking near an edge yields a composition comparable to one that can currently be generated by clicking closer to the center.
