HILBERT CURVE
by Jonas Williamsson/ Reala, Stockholm/ Sweden
A Hilbert curve is a continuous fractal space-filling curve, it was first described by the great German mathematician David Hilbert in 1891. In mathematics, the concept of a curve tries to capture the intuitive idea of a geometrical one-dimensional and continuous object. Space-filling curves are curves whose ranges contain the entire two dimensional unit square (or the three dimensional unit cube). The Hilbert curve has various applications such as image processing and computer holograms.
Originally found for and printed on the stationery for the project 'Text Project' at the Tensta Konsthall, Stockholm in 2005. Chosen because it was thought of as being without a beginning or an end. One continuous line makes up the pattern.
