* Light Center * Tracey Gendron * Cinematic Espresso Shots By Hannah Piercey If Aristotle were alive today, to paraphrase a famous Timothy Leary adage, he would have a Vimeo channel. So believes Jason Silva, a young futurist and filmmaker with movie-star looks and a childlike sense of wonder. Leary’s notion of the philosopher as a performer is a natural fit for Silva. Silva double-majored in film and philosophy at the University of Miami. Silva received his first camera at age 12 and became immediately obsessed. “Watching the video later, after the insight wore out—after a meal or shower when I was in a different mode of consciousness—created an interesting feedback loop between my ‘experiencing self’ and my ‘remembering self,’” Silva reflected, borrowing a concept from psychologist Daniel Kahneman’s 2010 TEDTalk. After nearly five years at Current and feeling ready for a new challenge, Silva left the channel to produce videos independently. Silva quickly found an audience online—and it scaled. And now back to the Timothy Leary reference.

Pi Day Activity- Make Pi Art! Happy Pi Day everyone! I remember thinking this holiday was really cool when I was younger. We let out our inner nerds, drank soda, and ate a pizza pie in class. Earlier this week I whetted your mathy appetite when I shared how I turned Pi into wearable art. My super easy and colorful Pi Day Bracelets were made by stringing different colored beads according to the digits in Pi. Today I'm celebrating Pi Day with two colorful and geometric pieces of Pi Day Inspired Artwork. "Easy As Pi" Artwork! And if you have younger preschool aged children, check out my 5 easy ways to celebrate Pi Day with Preschoolers! Now let's celebrate your inner nerd and create some fun artwork to brighten up your wall. Materials Needed to Make Pi Artwork: Paper (I used Watercolor)MarkersPencilRulerSomething with a long straight edgeEraserProtractor Large circular objectPrintout of Pi's digits Color codes (To relate Pi's digits to specific colors) Draw Polka Dot Pi Inspired Artwork: 1. Draw Pi As a Colorful Network: 1.

Matematyka w architekturze. by Max Lyszkowski on Prezi Polygon art and golden ratio inspired by Piet mondrian Making Art with the Golden Ratio « Math Craft :: WonderHowTo You can do some pretty cool stuff with the golden ratio. The image above is made from taking each quarter-circle in the golden spiral and expanding it into a full circle. In the second image, the spiral and the golden rectangles are overlaid on the the first image, showing how it works. The length of the radius of the nth circle is 1/phi^(n-1). The image above is made by connecting the the center of one circle to the center of the circle in the next iteration (or the corner of one square to the corner of the next), using it for the side of a pentagon which is then turned into a star. Anyway, there's some really awesome stuff you can do with the Golden Ratio and these are just a couple of them.
Modular Origami: How to Make a Cube, Octahedron & Icosahedron from Sonobe Units « Math Craft :: WonderHowTo Modular origami is a technique that can be used to build some pretty interesting and impressive models of mathematical objects. In modular origami, you combine multiple units folded from single pieces of paper into more complicated forms. The Sonobe unit is a simple example unit from modular origami that is both easy to fold and compatible for constructing a large variety of models. Cube Octahedron Icosahedron In the rest of this post we are going to learn how to make the Sonobe unit and each of these models. Materials and Tools Paper (square origami paper is preferred as it folds much better)Scissors (if paper isn't square) How to Make Square Paper All of the instructions below assume square paper is being used. Take an ordinary piece of paper and fold it diagonally. Unfold your square piece of paper. The square created above is 8.5 inches on a side. How to Make a Sonobe Unit Take a square piece of paper: If you are using colored origami paper, flip it so it is colored side down: Unfold.
Fractal | Online fractal creator | snowflake | Sierpinski | fractal tree The fractal explorer shows how a simple pattern, when repeated can produce an incredible range of images. With a bit of practice you will be able to create many interesting fractal forms, from organic looking trees to symmetrical structures like snow flakes. In fact the visnos website logo was created using this activity. The controls are split into two sections, the variables section change the algorithm that builds the fractal. Setting Variables Important click variables to access these controls Branches The number of branches that are created at each step of the pattern. Iterations In computing an iteration is similar to a repetition, if the iteration value is 1 then only one set of branches is created. Angle 1 This is the angle between the branches created at each step. Angle 2 Each branch ends pointing in a particular direction, angle 2 is the angle shift for the direction of the new branches. Branch Size Controls Start Length The length value of the first set of branches. Length Multiplier
