Artist Book Series + Daily Art And Design Blog And Creative Community - StumbleUpon. I couldn’t help but direct everyone to fellow public art loving blog Street Art Utopia as they have compiled a pretty decent list of the best street art of 2011.
If you are just getting into the wonderful world of pasting, spraying or making the streets a more creative place, this list is a great place to start (short of Wall and Piece). The Making Of Lust - Worth1000 Tutorials. Fractal. Figure 1a.
The Mandelbrot set illustrates self-similarity. As the image is enlarged, the same pattern re-appears so that it is virtually impossible to determine the scale being examined. Figure 1b. The same fractal magnified six times. Figure 1c. Figure 1d. Gaston Julia. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre.
Pour les articles homonymes, voir Julia. Gaston Julia. Gaston Maurice Julia (3 de febrero de 1893, Sidi Bel Abes, Argelia - 19 de marzo de 1978, París, Francia) fue un matemático francés.
Julia fue un precursor en lo que hoy se conoce como fractales. Fue el primero en estudiar el tema y en explicar cómo a partir de cualquier función compleja se puede fabricar, por medio de una sucesión definida por inducción, un conjunto cuya frontera es imposible de dibujar a pulso por ser de longitud infinita, entre otras propiedades. Su notoriedad culminó al ser publicado su artículo Informe sobre la iteración de las funciones racionales (Mémoire sur l'itération des fonctions rationnelles) en la revista francesa de matemáticas Journal de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées.
Este artículo de 199 páginas le permitió ser galardonado por la Academia de las Ciencias Francesa. Sin embargo, en su vida no tuvo mucha fama. Broadcasting Architecture Worldwide. Bathe in Light: Adjustable 6-Color ‘Rain Flow’ Shower Head. Adjustable flow, rain-style spray, and the other typical effects are in place that would make this your usual luxury shower fixture – but the LED lighting sets it somewhat apart from the rest, even if the the company spend about health and wellness benefits seems a bit too colorful (in more ways than one).
The claim from HydroChromotherapy is that sound, light and color are major players that influence states of mind. Frankly, that sounds a tad far-fetched, but certainly there is something to be said for setting the mood via any one of a number of available colors and flows (settings range from one-color to rainbow and low-pressure to high). Setting the stage is done by a remote control, hand-held device (also of sleek design) and the shower button itself simply activates the head with whatever programmed selection has been made. Magic Glass: Flip a Switch to Turn Clear Sheets Translucent. Sandwiched between two outer layers of conventional glazing sits a liquid crystal polymer membrane that can be activated by remote control or turned on (opaque) and off (see through) via conventional light switches.
Such shifts in opacity mean the same surface can serve as a window, partition, privacy screen or projection surface. Prefabricated with the synthetic core in place, units can be safely brought to and installed on residential or commercial building sites with ease. Dynamic Movement-Inspired Artistic Table Designs. Solar Bottle Lamps: Water + Bleach = 10,000 Liters of Light. Who says you can’t bottle (and distribute) genius?
Developed in Brazil to address under-illuminated slums, this simple design idea has been adopted by MIT students and expanded to other developing areas where many low-income homes lack access to either daylight or electricity. The physics of the concept are straightforward: the bottles are placed in roofs – half outside, half inside – and their lower portions refract light like 60-Watt light bulb but without the need for a power source.
A few drops of bleach serve to keep the water clear, clean and germ-free for years to come. Aerogel: See-Through, Strong as Steel & Ligher than Air.
