Based on my research into computational geometry, 3D art terminology, and polyhedral naming conventions, here are the existing and emerging terms for your specific type of geometric art:
Existing Terminology
Core Polyhedral Terms
- Symmetrohedron - A high-symmetry polyhedron containing regular polygons with gaps filled by irregular polygons Virtual Polyhedra1
- Polyhedral Kaleidoscope - Art using mirrors to create repeating geometric patterns within polyhedra Instructables2
- Mirrored Polyhedra - Polyhedra with reflective interior faces creating infinite reflections Geometry Code3
Technical Process Terms
- Shrinkwrap Projection - Mapping from regular to curved geometric forms Parametric Monkey4
- Displacement Mapping - Using pixel lightness values to create 3D surface extrusion NVIDIA Developer5
- Polyhedral Pictures - Images projected onto polyhedra faces Simon Tatham6
- Cube-to-Sphere Projection - Mathematical transformation from cubic to spherical geometry JCGT7
Artistic Movement Terms
- Computational Geometry Art - Art created through algorithmic geometric processes George W. Hart8
- Parametric Art - Art defined by algorithmic parameters and rules Parametric Monkey4
- Generative 3D Art - Art created through form-finding algorithms Parametric Monkey4
Emerging/Proposed Terminology
For Your Specific Art Form
Given your description of mirror-symmetrical pictures on curvilinear polyhedra with pixel-based extrusion, I suggest these terms:
- Specular Polyhedron - A polyhedron with mirror-symmetrical imagery on each face
- Hypermedia Polyhedron - A polyhedron containing interactive/layered visual information
- Luminance-Extruded Polyhedron - A polyhedron with surfaces extruded based on pixel brightness values
- Kaleidoscopic Spheroid - A sphere-like form with kaleidoscopic patterns on curved faces
- Morphic Polyhedron - A polyhedron that has been topologically transformed (shrinkwrapped) from its original form
Technical Compound Terms
- Curvilinear Symmetrohedron - A symmetrohedron projected onto curved surfaces
- Displacement-Mapped Kaleidoscope - A kaleidoscopic pattern with 3D surface displacement
- Exponential-Perspective Polyhedron - A polyhedron with exponentially-scaled perspective effects
- Mirrored Extrusion Art - Art combining mirror symmetry with pixel-based extrusion
Process-Based Terms
- Shrinkwrap Mapping - The process of projecting regular polyhedra onto curved surfaces
- Luminance Extrusion - Creating 3D relief based on image brightness values
- Polyhedral Texture Synthesis - Generating complex textures across polyhedra faces
- Spherical Facet Mapping - Applying imagery to spherically-projected polyhedra faces
Naming Pattern Suggestions
For Individual Artworks
Following established patterns from geometric sculpture George W. Hart8, combine descriptive and poetic elements:
Technical Pattern: [Process] + [Base Form] + [Modifier]
- "Luminance-Extruded Cubic Sphere"
- "Mirror-Mapped Truncated Icosahedron"
- "Shrinkwrapped Kaleidoscopic Dodecahedron"
Artistic Pattern: [Evocative Name] + [Technical Descriptor]
- "Digital Cosmos (Exponential-Perspective Spheroid)"
- "Mirror City (Displacement-Mapped Polyhedron)"
- "Pixel Mandala (Luminance-Extruded Symmetrohedron)"
For the Art Movement
Based on computational art terminology Bridges MathArt Archive9:
- Specular Computational Geometry
- Hypermedia Polyhedric Art
- Luminance-Displacement Sculpture
- Kaleidoscopic Morphic Geometry
Academic/Technical Classification
For formal documentation, your art form could be classified as:
Primary Category: Computational Geometric Art
Subcategory: Polyhedral Mirror-Mapping with Luminance Displacement
Technique: Curvilinear Projection with Exponential-Perspective Mirroring
Medium: 3D Hypermedia Infographic Sculpture
This terminology bridges traditional polyhedra naming conventions with contemporary computational art language, providing both technical precision and artistic expressiveness for your innovative geometric art form.
