I stumbled upon this delightful short video,
from director Daihei Shibata which attempts to plot the
movement of everyday objects such as a light switch or a spring as a real-time
graph. Sibata explains this as a film that expresses “the various thresholds
hidden in everyday life.” OK, interesting enough, but when paired with a score
by the EX NOVO Chamber Choir, and please turn up the volume,
it suddenly becomes a thing of beauty to watch,
here is a slightly different interpretation of sound and action,
The Beauty of Mathematics, from Yann Pineill and Nicolas Lefaucheux of Paris video
production agency Parachutes succinctly demonstrates the underlying mathematics
behind everyday occurrences in the format of a triptych, on the left the
mathematical equation, in the middle a mathematical model, and on the right a
video of such things as snowflakes, wind, sound, trees and magnetism, the video
begins with the following quote:
“Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but
supreme beauty — a beauty cold and austere, without the gorgeous trappings of
painting or music.” —Bertrand Russell,
a couple of unique videos to be sure.
