“Trichter” by Norbert Speicher received a Honorary Mention in the Computer Graphics category of the Prix Ars Electronica 1988.
The funnel is created through the repeated application of a scaling function changing its direction upon a triangle function. By reflection and addition of a tapered "stick", a composition is created that describes an artificial object with a minimum of technical devices.
