This is really cool! There is a chapter about something similar to this in a book called Opt Art that you might enjoy. The whole book is about creating art with linear optimization.

Thanks ! It is awesome. I managed to make it work. But my computer being slow I do not yet have any cool result to share.

this application is very musical, dependent upon scales and harmonics... here is where the visual and the musical begin to dance...

There is a related blog by Theodore Gray from 2008 that might be of interest. Different constraints, but similar idea in creating a mosaic.

With some changes to the notebook, the photo mosaic case can be supported:

  • The topological constraints must be disabled
  • A new constraint must be added to prevent a tile from being reused more than once on the whole picture.

If I can find some time, I’ll update the notebook to support this case too.

Amazing idea - and nicely done! It truly generates a piece of art! Thanks for sharing!
