Tessera by The Turning Gate
Here’s a fun new thing. Tessera is the latest product by Matt at The Turning Gate (whose software I used to build my site.)
From the product announcement:
“TESSERA is a toy image editor that reconstructs your photos from geometric primitives.
Tessera takes a photo and rebuilds it piece by piece using geometric shapes: triangles, ellipses, hexagons, rectangles, squares, and circles. The result lands somewhere between abstract art and impressionist painting. It uses math, not AI, to reinterpret your images.”
The web version is free; you can try it here.
The desktop version is suggested to be $10+, but you can name your own price.
 And it’s a lot of fun. Something my friend Victoria would describe as “Hours and hours of mindless entertainment.”
Maybe not so mindless. It is entertaining though. It’s a blast seeing your old familiar favorite images getting reinterpreted.
Tessera has a few presets, but the fun really starts when you start changing any of the several sliders.
Give the web version a go, I think you’ll get a kick out of it.

The workshop went great! I got the chance to reconnect with some folks and to meet a few new people. We saw some wonderful images that our participants made too.
