Matt Peason, author of Generative Art say in his book (ch.8):
In 2008 I went to a meeting of the Computer Arts Society (CAS) in London, an organization that was (remarkably, for a body devoted to computing) celebrating its fortieth anniversary with that event. There, I heard a short talk by the society’s initiator and first chairman, the artist and mathematician Alan Sutcliffe. Through this talk, he introduced me to a marvellous shape, which I have since mentally dubbed the Sutcliffe Pentagon.
To be clear, I’ve spoken to Alan about this, and he isn’t entirely over the moon with me using this name. He has been insistent that, even though he thought it up, he doesn’t believe the shape was his invention. He cites Kenneth Stephenson’s work on circle packing as preceding him, in which Stephenson himself credits earlier work by Floyd, Cannon, and Parry. But I have since reviewed this trail of influence, and, although Sutcliffe’s predecessors do describe a dissected pentagon, none of them take the idea half as far as he did. And even if they had, it wouldn’t change the way the Sutcliffe Pentagon was burned into my brain that particular evening.
Buy the book, it is excellent.
