“Second installation of my ongoing series focused on analog visual effects, understanding fluid dynamics, magnetism & natural invisible forces. This time around I experimented with mixing tiny portions of ferrofluid & other chemicals, soap, alcohol, milk etc.”

A Passionately Curious Genius “All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual.” -Albert Einstein Clearly one of the greatest and most influential minds in history, Albert Einstein is today’s Citizen of the Day. His work was brilliant, creative, and revolutionary, yet positively sensible. There are few like this man who tested the boundaries of the world around him, not only in physics and mathematics, but in our society as well. Einstein proved to us, among an interminable number of other things, that genius can truly be the result of passion. Today on the AP Physics Exam, I finally used his famous equation for the first time, E=mc^2. Thank you Mr. Einstein for pushing the limits of science and humanity, and opening a vast frontier for countless generations to explore.

cartographic polyrhythms (2) Emma McNally1 digital hybrid from drawing (graphite/carbon on paper) ‘Below the level of the musical note lies the realm of microsound, of sound particles lasting less than one-tenth of a second. Recent technological advances allow us to probe and manipulate these pinpoints of sound, dissolving the traditional building blocks of music—notes and their intervals—into a more fluid and supple medium.

It’s quite remarkable when this adoption takes the shape of randomized algorithms in Generative Art, but it’s even more astounding when it’s expressed by means of hand-drawn illustrations. The stunning graphite illustrations of Emma McNally convey a sort of cartographic conjecture, with imaginary planes and connections, intersecting squares, circles and dots. These abstract lines, shapes, and patterns make for some striking textures and resemble classic mappings of cyberspace through nodal connections of imagined networks. via: visualcomplexity

Velcro as Biomimicry

The hook-and-loop fastener was invented in 1941 by Swiss engineer, Georges de Mestral who lived in Commugny, Switzerland. The idea came to him one day after returning from a hunting trip with his dog in the Alps. He took a close look at the burrs (seeds) of burdock that kept sticking to his clothes and his dog’s fur. He examined them under a microscope, and noted their hundreds of “hooks” that caught on anything with a loop, such as clothing, animal fur, or hair. He saw the possibility of binding two materials reversibly in a simple fashion if he could figure out how to duplicate the hooks and loops
