Re: Real-Life Weirdness
The artist Ted Lawson has created a printer that prints images using human blood. So far, just his own -- but I'm sure you can imagine other scenarios. And perhaps there's a plotter version, just to make sure the curves of the Dho-Na geometry remain continuous rather than pixelated.
The self-portrait suggests Dorian Gray v2.0. http://www.cnet.com/news/robotic-pri...his-own-blood/ |

Re: Real-Life Weirdness
You mean it wasn't draw on a flat, or flattish, background? I'm getting tired of people using non-Euclidean as a shorthand for horrific. The Earth is non-Euclidan, ffs. Ask any pilot.
