According to string theory, there are additional dimensions that we are unfamiliar with because they are curled up into tiny complicated shapes that can only be seen on tiny scales. If we could shrink to this tiny, Planck-sized scale we could see that at every 3D point in space, we can also explore 6 additional dimensions. Lampade e illuminazione &'COSTA design. PARACLOUD GEM anyone? Four Minutes to Midnight. Colloque Recherche-Creation: Demo or Die I recently presented a talk at UQAM’s Centre des Sciences as part of a conference on the state of Research-Creation.

Four Minutes to Midnight

I was invited as a member of Artivistic, but I have to admit, I felt a bit out of my league amongst seasoned academics and artists, addressing a subject I wasn’t sure I quite understood properly. Nonetheless, I tackled it from my own perspective, presenting Artivistic’s Promiscuous Infrastrcutures project, and was happy to contribute to the more action-oriented panel Demo or Die. You can view the video documentation of the panel below (my talk starts 29 minutes in): Many thanks to Gisèle Trudel for organising the panel and inviting me to rpesent, and many thanks to my fellow panelists, Mel Hogan, Alexandre Castonguay, Sandeep Bhagwati, and Sally-Jane Norman.

Hanson) have also created a variety of graphics images derived from the Fermat Equation (see below) that are relevant to the Calabi-Yau spaces that may lie at the smallest scales of the unseen dimensions in String Theory; these have appeared in Brian Greene's books, The Elegant Universe and The Fabric of the Cosmos,, and in the book by Callender and Huggins, Physics Meets Philosophy at the Planck Scale. The writhing purple shapes in the October/ November 2003 NOVA production Elegant Universe, as well as the cover of the November 2003 Scientific American, were derived from software models I supplied to the NOVA graphics providers. Grossman - Calabi-Yau Manifold. According to string theory, spacetime as we know it isn't 4-dimensional, but 10-dimensional.

Grossman - Calabi-Yau Manifold

The next question is, where are the extra 6 dimensions that we don't see? One answer is that they're 'compactified': roughly speaking, rolled up into such a small shape that they're unobservable by humans. Calabi-Yau manifold. Calabi-Yau manifolds are compact, complex Kähler manifolds that have trivial first Chern classes (over \mathbb{R}).

Calabi-Yau manifold

In most cases, we assume that they have finite fundamental groups. By the conjecture of Calabi (1957) proved by Yau (1977; 1979), there exists on every Calabi-Yau manifold a Kähler metric with vanishing Ricci curvature. Currently, research on Calabi-Yau manifolds is a central focus in both mathematics and mathematical physics. It is partially propelled by the prominent role the Calabi-Yau threefolds play in superstring theories. Joost Korngold. Tessellation in Real Materials 16: Dodecahedron with a Five-Cat Theme. Dick Walton, his wife Susan Newell, and their friend James Morrison of Billings, Montana, made this amazing ceramic kitchen floor in 2002.

Tessellation in Real Materials 16: Dodecahedron with a Five-Cat Theme

Dick says, "We made our kitchen floor of homemade ceramic tiles in a "Penrose Tiling" pattern. The floor was inspired by Martin Gardner's cover article in the January 1977 issue of Scientific American magazine. "A potter friend, Jim Morrison of Cold Mountain Pottery (dot com), made several molds from my cardboard patterns for the two tile shapes. Over a period of several months I made about 1,300 tiles one at a time with the molds. Jim then glazed (two different glazes) and fired them in his kiln. "Susan arranged the tiles so similar toned tiles were together. "Laying the tiles was an interesting challenge. Wonderland: Symmetry and Pattern Design Resources. The Bridges Organization - Links. Whats the alternative to Adobe After Effects ? Escher's Droste Effect. This is an Adobe Pixel Bender filter to create Escher’s Droste Effect in After Effects and Photoshop CS4.

Escher's Droste Effect

Read the blog post to find out more about the background of the image transformation. Animating the effect When used with After Effects things really start to get interesting... If you have fun or success using these filters for personal or commercial projects then please let me know! Download and installation Download the Droste effect filter for After Effects and Photoshop CS4See the Pixel Bender Toolkit page on Adobe labs for details on getting PBT up and running on your machine.

After Effects: Just put the Pixel Bender .pbk filters in a folder within the Plug-ins/Effects/ directory of your installation then it will be available from the Effects menu.Photoshop: See the release notes for installing the Pixel Bender plugin. Hochenergiephysik by Still. Trapcode alternatives? : Trapcode. Cc particle world is a standard ae effect that can do a fair amount of what particular can do (not sure if it comes with the educational version though). videocopilot.net has several tutorials that use particle world, and many of andrew's particular tutorials can be adapted to cc particle world. there is on tutorial there that demonstrates how to use cc particle world to create a 3d stroke-like effect. there are other techniques that will create starglow-like glow effects. usually using duplicates of a layer with directional blur composited over the original in screen or add mode... ayatoweb.com has an old tutorial on that (find the english page). but if you think that $900 is a lot for plugins, check boris continuum complete, or the zaxwerks bundles...

Trapcode Mir Renders

It’s polygon based with awesome GPU acceleration! I had the honor to beta test this baby and wanted to show off some of the amazing things you can do with this thing and what you can expect for the upcoming 2012 summer release. I want to discuss a little bit about the process of these renders and a little bit about Mir. Clearly I cannot say much until the plugin is released, but let me first start off by saying that Mir is extremely fast.

Extremely fast as in a Macbook Pro could easily handle Mir like feathering a mask. Notice all the little details created with Mir. Gallery. Music visualizations. Trapcode Mir. Generative Art Links.

My last post mentioned some scripts that Knighty (a Fractal Forums member) made for distance estimated rendering of many types of polyhedra, including the Platonic solids. Shortly after, Knighty really raised the bar by finding a distance estimator for four dimensional polytopes. In this post, I’ll show some images of a subset of these, the convex regular polychora. There are several ways to depict four dimensional structures. The 4D Quaternion Julia, one of the first distance estimated fractals, simply showed 3D slices of 4D space.

Another way would be to project the shadow of a 4D object onto a 3D space. Generative design boot. Design your generative design boot. Iterated function system.
