Madness Concotion #10

Insanity-one’s imagination exhilaratingly beautiful

and terrifyingly macabre,

blends so seamlessly into reality

that truths and falsities become irreducible.

Happiness is something dumb people invented to give meaning to their lives. It gets people chasing ideas and things they do not need; things they cannot possess or once they do, they chase something else.

I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.

Birthday

I recently had a bday and it was one of the best ever. I got to spend a vacation with my little boy in Colorado and visit family I haven’t seen in a long time. Before I left, however, I realized how many great and wonderful people think of me, how much they think appreciate me, and how much they value my friendship. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so loved on my bday.

Fibonacci Zoetrope Sculptures

These are 3-D printed sculptures designed to animate when spun under a strobe light. The placement of the appendages is determined by the same method nature uses in pinecones and sunflowers. The rotation speed is synchronized to the strobe so that one flash occurs every time the sculpture turns 137.5º—the golden angle. If you count the number of spirals on any of these sculptures you will find that they are always Fibonacci numbers.

For this video, rather than using a strobe, the camera was set to a very short shutter speed (1/4000 sec) in order to freeze the spinning sculpture.

John Edmark is an inventor/designer/artist. He teaches design at Stanford University.
