Väldigt vackert när det är Mondrian målning som reflekteras om. Wow! Jag undrar hur en “grid” av rutor 1x1 skulle se ut efter den blivit omgjord.  Dags att uppgradera mina programeringsskills och göra egna program.. :)

Edit: Malin hade gjort ett fint program redan för detta. MEN, att rita raka stäck med mus är sådär halv lätt.. Resultat :

When Reflecting A Painting In A Circle, Pen Strokes Close To The Centre Of The Circle Become Thicker.

When reflecting a painting in a circle, pen strokes close to the centre of the circle become thicker. Reflecting a pixel-based image would enlarge and distort some pixels.  A painting built of strokes, like a Mondrian-painting, is better suited for circle inversion.

Dragon Fractal - Level 5

If you take each of the 4 sides of a square and modify the angle of the dragon fractal as you go up, you get this shape. I’m still fighting the 3d models to get a nice smooth version.

Hey IBM,  Always loved your posts. BUT THIS, you want people to drink milk from a cow? The milk is for the calf! Shame on you for spreading the lie that milk is good for the body. It’s proven that milk is not good for humans after the age of 12. Stop treat animals like they are made for us humans to abuse! There is no humane way to kill or inseminate another living creature! Hope this is your first and last post propagates for animal abuse!

Dairy DNA

Dairy DNA

Milk, it does a body good, and we want to make sure it stays that way. In order to help protect the safety of this ingredient found in so many foods, IBM and Cornell University are working on a way to monitor raw milk straight from the source. By sequencing the DNA and RNA of milk and its surrounding microbes, they hope to be able to instantly detect food safety hazards so they don’t have a chance to make it into your glass or onto your plate.

This sketch was made by rotating point 1 around a circle, rotating point 2 around point 1, and then joining a line between point 1 and point 2. In the gif point 2 is traveling in the same direction as point 1. Point 1 is traveling at 1x, and point 2 is traveling at 2x. Following the gif are some of my favorite combinations of the periods:

Rotating same direction:

1x and 1x

1x and 2x

1x and 5x

2x and 1x

2x and 5x

5x and 8x

The last image is an array of all the varieties from 1x to 9x for each point.

Time to take actions! We only got one place to call home, so lets act like its our home!

As governments discuss climate change in Paris, they’ll be referring to the dire predictions of climate scientists. Here are three visualizations of possible futures based on detailed climate models and summed up by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in their 2013 report. The deeper the red - the hotter things are getting.

The message is clear: we better act fast.

How did they come up with these models? Read or listen to Nell Greenfieldboyce’s story.

Även efter man läst förklaringen och verkligen försöker bortse skuggans illusion, så stuttsar denna boll...

Skulle det fungera om man tog bort perspektiv rutorna? Så du inte har djupet att förhålla sig till?... Hmm

Shadow Illusion

Shadow illusion

The human brain uses shadows to interpret how objects move. By faking the shadow, one can fake the perceived motion of an object. The red circle moves along a line.
