turntablism for the hard of hearing
"harmonic motion (a harmonograph turntable drawing machine) Turntablism is the art of manipulating recorded sound using direct drive turntables. Inspired by the concept of a harmonograph (a drawing machine using pendulums to create geometric Lissajous curves) this installation utilizes two turntables working in unison to produce an evolving image. Although an analog process, the resulting drawings have a digital and mathematical quality to them and are also reminiscent of sound waves, in this case sine waves, viewed on an oscilloscope. The drawings can be further manipulated by manually adjusting the pitch controls of each turntable as they rotate."

everywhere and everything

i love math even though i'm not good at it. when i see an equation, or when i look at a letter/number/character, even, i see it as a shape or an object. do you realize how pretty these things can be when you see them in a different way? and when you put these characters together to form an equation, manipulate, and make it visual?

anyway, here are a couple of sites i think are pretty cool.
