Fancy Tiles: Dogmatic Oppression

This animation is a continuation of the Fancy Tiles series that premiered in December 2020 and featured a grid filled with colored squares. The series later adopted a movement algorithm, which remained unmodified for this animated art piece.

Conceptually, artwork in this collection is about Roots, Diversity, and Community. This piece depicts the majority of tiles as sharing the color of their internal circle (symbolizing the set of ideas) with each other. Ironically, the color is also shared with the canvas’s background, which makes tiles seem hollow and thus lacking part of the tile’s essence. The presence of other types of tiles in the composition remains open to the viewer’s interpretation (despite the suggestion in the title).

It is a fun animation to re-watch, as it features hundreds of tiles that move simultaneously and form interesting shapes and patterns when combined with other tiles.
