Silhouette – Un designer détourne la silhouette de sa fille toutes les semaines Silhouette – Un designer détourne la silhouette de sa fille toutes les semaines Le graphic designer Brent Holloman s’amuse à détourner chaque semaine la silhouette de sa fille en utilisant toutes les techniques possibles : illustration, photographie, calligraphie, en fumée, en carte, en viande, en bois, en diagramme, en fil, à la craie, sur une pomme, et même en urinant dans la neige… Un bel exercice qui fera plaisir à sa fille quand elle sera plus grande ! via Brent Holloman
Black or White: What Color Works Best for the Background of a Screen? Have you noticed that many business intelligence (BI) software companies have introduced black screens as the standard for mobile devices? Is this because mobile devices work better with black screens? If you look for the research, as I have, it isn’t likely that you’ll find any. Just as when dashboards were new and someone came up with the bright idea of using graphs that looked like speedometers and fuel gauges on cars and everyone else followed suit, the practice of black screens on mobile devices has been adopted for the same reason: someone did it and others followed. Few software vendors in the BI space do research or even read relevant research by others. I recently gave a keynote presentation at one of Actuate’s events and also led a separate smaller session to discuss data visualization best practices. No one seems to question the efficacy of light backgrounds for reading text. This leaves us with argument number 2 above regarding lighting conditions. Take care,
Une réalité mathématique dessinée en fractales par un homme atteint par le syndrome du savant Jason Padgett est un américain qui a acquis, sans le vouloir, des capacités étonnantes en mathématiques après une agression en 2002. Il a été durement touché à la tête et il vit maintenant la réalité sous forme de fractales mathématiques descriptibles par des équations. Il est atteint du syndrome du savant qui lui permet désormais de pratiquer une forme de synesthésie. Image d’entête : “une main quantique à travers mes yeux” (J.Padgett) Avant l’incident, Jason ne possédait aucune capacité particulière en math, il était même plutôt mauvais. Il a copié la plupart des réponses à son examen de géométrie dans l’enseignement secondaire et n’a jamais eu beaucoup d’intérêt pour cette matière. Ci-dessous : “trou noir de Planck”. “Dualité onde-particule” “Une dérive dans l’espace-temps” Selon la bio de Jason Padgett : “Cosinus sinusoïdale et ondes tangente” “Fusion hW=MC^2” “L’expérience des doubles fentes” (Fentes de Young) Vous pouvez admirer d’autres œuvres de Jason Padgett sur Fine art america.
Geometric Sculpture of George W. Hart, mathematical sculptor George W. Hart As a sculptor of constructive geometric forms, my work deals with patterns and relationships derived from classical ideals of balance and symmetry. Mathematical yet organic, these abstract forms invite the viewer to partake of the geometric aesthetic. Classical forms are pushed in new directions, so viewers can take pleasure in their Platonic beauty yet recognize how they are updated for our complex high-tech times. Because my works invite contemplation, slowly revealing their content, some viewers see them as meditation objects. This page shows some of my own favorite pieces.
