Samurai Tree 18D

The Samurai Tree series has very specific rules. How the colors are located is connected with how the knight jumps in the chess board. It starts from the center of the square, then grows and doubles and halves. And then from that, I did all possible variations, and we came, through the computer, to 677 variations. I thought that [by] establishing some rules I could build up a structure that behaves like a sculpture, so it’s a flat mobile maybe, or it’s a diagram that is rotating and is rotating and is rotating and then is moving, and it’s behaving not like a painting in a way.
