I found this post on a drawing blog, and felt right at home. Check out out all the geometry and ratios in this tip on perspective drawing.

Emoti-nodes
I found the opening slide for my next lecture on graph theory. Check out the Taxali 300 exhibition for more great illustration.

Ergon/Logos
I found this interesting poem/game called Ergon/Logos via Ron Silliman’s blog. The work has been written such that it has vertices at which the reader can choose from one or more edges. ( I know we’ve seen this before.) What is interesting is the vizualization of this process. I won’t say more, just try it.

Logicomix
The newest book on my wishlist is Logicomix. A graphic novel about the history of math’s search for certainty. Probably the most exciting epistemic journey of all time. A little human drama, a little logical drama, and a lot of nice illustration. The above is Bertrand Russell.

Math-ku
I found an awesome pic with accompanying haiku in the flickr mathworld group. The artist is catnapping and here’s your ‘ku’:
on one center
the totality of points

Kandinsky + math
The Guggenheim is currently running a Kandinsky exhibit. My mother went and all I got is this postcard. (Just kidding, mom.) She was thinking of us in geek-land. Kandinsky apparently exploited the flipped orientation of the positive and negative 3 symbols, assuming that viewers would correct the orientation in their minds thereby giving the painting motion. Bet you didn’t know you could do that with the integers.

Upon reflection…
Enjoy this perfect reflection that I found on Flickr by Zoot42. Tough to believe it’s not photo-shopped.

Looking for New Math Pics
I’m such a flickr junkie. I decided to search Picasa’s community and see what I could come up with for math pics. This was the first thing I found. The caption read: magnetic table + sand + metal ball + math = ART. All I want to know now is how they made it? Anybody know?

Algorithmic Art
A student I ran across during registration put me onto this interesting algorithmic art site (prepare to waste time) called Algorithm Ink. The code is even open so you can mess around with your own drawings. Thanks, Brian!
