Technique as Muse   Chairs: Jacquelyn Martino, Philips Research USA and Maureen Nappi , New York University   Hyper-3D Paintings in QuickTime VR   A demonstration of 2D and 3D imaging techniques used to create hypermedia 3D paintings that are presented in QuickTime VR within Director movies.   Philip Sanders The College of New Jersey 563 Van Duzer Street Staten Island, New York 10304 USA ps@thing.net   Explorations of New Visual Systems   This sketch investigated how computers and new media may extend the designer's perception and imagination. It presented a series of experimental mathematical functions that demonstrate some of these models or mappings for a variety of values for the parameters. The functions address geometric mappings as well as numerical models of projection, and their interest lies in the dynamic nature of continuous computer processing (real-time movement).   Kostas Terzidis University of California, Los Angeles 405 Hilgard Avenue Los Angeles, California 90095 USA kostas@ucla.edu   The Application of Non-Periodic Tiling Patterns in the Creation of Artistic Images   Artistic combination of grids of randomly oriented tiles containing a simple pattern (based on patterns first described by Sebastien Truchet in 1704) are used to produce unique forms and details.   Kenneth A.
