Art Definition and 188 Threads

I was browsing through you-tube and found this video.. http://www.youtube.com/user/OUlearn#p/c/E4037752E877E4E5/11/BZysu9QcceM Its seems cool to me, one thing that is bugging me is how many servomotors did this guy used? This video has sequential vids, I think 3 more... this guy talks...

Hello I'm a student engineer and I'm trying to find the weighted reconstruction matrix used for ART image reconstruction. The weighted matrix gives for each projections what pixels are influenced by a ray from a laser. In attachment you see an image of what the problem is. The matrix must be...

Hey rocket folks - In light of those artists that deal with massive art, like covering an outdooors area with cloth and the like I thought it would be interesting to propose a world shaking art project. Yes, I know this would never fly with the world and it might cause problems with the...

Are there any large kits I could buy to practice circuits from the book? What about kits for any other famous EE textbooks? Especially for digital circuits? And how expensive would they be? == I know that it varies from person to person - but - how long do the circuits in the second half of...

The surface in above image is a portion of the graph of some mathematical equation. Let's do some brainstorming: Can you guess what's inside the surface? . .

As a professional novelist, I see wave particle duality in all things including arts. For instance a book written in the first person (I) is the particle viewpoint just as the 3rd person represents one bifurcation of the wave function viewpoint. I see wave particle duality everywhere. Take...

I am glad to concede that the definition of art is elusive. I can also understand the value in collectable modern art. But there comes a point where stuff is just ridiculous. Ejaculate in Trajectory http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_details.aspx?intObjectID=5236674 $30,000...

Hi! I'm a college student majoring in physics. I had a very terrible freshman year (during which I thought I would be pre-med). I switched to being an art major my sophomore year and took lots of art classes. Then I freaked out and decided that if I was going to go to school it should be...

This is a pretty specific question, but I figure someone here might know something about it... I'm a few weeks away from releasing an album (not here to self advertise, but PM me if you're into mashups/mixes and I can send you a link to my demo (it's free of course) :P), and my friend is...

It is not often that artists need to deal with physics questions, but here's a good one (more than one actually). I hope someone out there will be in the mood for addressing this. It has to do with stone-carving techniques. If anyone wants to know more context, I'll be glad to fill it in, but...

Hi GeorgeCantor; I read and re-read your post #30 in the other thread and wondered a lot about it. It seems the main issue is realism. Realism; (Wordweb) - The attribute of accepting the facts of life and favouring practicality and literal truth - The state of being actual or real -...

I will combine this with the other art thread, but wanted to share a couple of pictures that Spawn of Evo has done recently. I always say that she is an artist, but have never posted her work. http://a.imageshack.us/img709/3827/spawnfriend.jpg...

Just off the top of my head: I'm rather partial to this portrait of Napoleon... [PLAIN]http://www.nmm.ac.uk/tserver.php?f=NAN0120.jpg&h=650&legacyResize Somehow, I just don't think I could ever execute red velor pants as well (really more of a blue jeans or brown slacks kind of guy)...

How do you make a website and who likes art here (or is good at designing)?

I drew a picture of Leonardo Dicaprio. Here's one I drew of Jackie Chan.

What type of art do you believe requires the most talent?

How does it reflect upon your quality as a physicist if you ask a professor questions about homework they assigned that you are stuck on? Obviously, a good (theoretical) physicist cannot be walked through a problem to its solution, but a good theoretical physicist also does not act too stubborn...

Hello! I'm a few weeks away from being a high school senior, and I'm looking at going into Computing Sciences after high school. But when I checked out the website of the University I plan to attend, it listed Computing Science as both an Arts and a Sciences course. Why is this? Are there two...

Someone posted the following in a mailing list on Art of Living yoga invitation message. Most of the audience of this mailing list are people highly educated and working in hi-tech jobs. Wonder how low we can stretch placebo to play people's mind. --------------------- Yoga of Sound...

All I have is this one I used for the front of a drawer for punched cards back in the days. Multilayer, white card sandwiched between two blue cards: Looks better if I invert the image of the white card:

Hi! I am a software developer and at the moment I am working on media art projects dealing with generative art algorithms in 3D spaces. I have been stuck for a few hours with a little problem dealing with vector math and I can't reach a conclusion. If someone here could give me a little...

I was looking at Kelly Johnsons flight log photos online: I've also noticed professor Anderson (of the Anderson Aeroynamic Book series), also has amazing Penmanship. So does my grandmother. Pretty much all the old timmers do. Meanwhile, I scribble mess unless I'm turning in...

Every once in a while, a thread comes up that has 'something' to do with the 'Arts'. Past ones had the 'chicken' on the roadside, discussions about Pollock, avatars, etc. So, I thought this may be interesting. From paintings to film to dance to your or your child's art, whether a...

He is a Reader in Neuroscience, but has also exhibited at the Hayward and Serpentine Galleries, and I like this Bee Matrix.

Is there a way for a kid to blend physics and art into a career? She can't make up her mind which way to go, so I thought I would see if there are any suggestions out there that use both.

I've recently gotten hold of this book, "The Art and Craft of Problem Solving", by Paul Zeitz. I have heard many recommondations for it, and think it is fantastic. I want to read it the most effective way. Have any of you read it? How did you do it, or do you have any tips on how to read...

http://www.thelocal.se/9824/20080130/ I'm always so surprised how far from the political climate Sweden is from the United States. Besides the neo-Nazis, the only party opposing it was the far-right Christian Democrats (6.6% in latest elections). Most others where thrilled. Do you think...

The art to become special and the bounce. Roger Penrose in his book “The Road to Reality” showed us a road/trajectory from a super special low entropy state, at the Big bang, to nowadays’ less special and higher entropy state. Nothing wrong with symmetric physical laws valid during that...

Hello, I am a High School math teacher in the US, and our district is writing a curriculum for a new math class that will include a section on Math and the Fine Arts. I have found many websites that deal with this from a Fine Arts perspective, but we need some mathematical rigor in the...

Hi :) I was referred here from the xkcd math forums... Basically, I'm looking for a gift for my mathematician boyfriend. He's a voracious reader and has pretty much devoured every single math book in print, so a book is out. I was thinking of some math-based art would be cool, however...

even in this time, when nothing really shocks us, we see more and more artists, who give the name "art" to abstract pieces, in which i (personally) can t see any meaning. i attended an exhibition and for example, there was a video, that showed a man throwing up. i don t know.. i am not...

<<Note from Moonbear: I've separated this from the urinal thread since it seems to have become a discussion all it's own. I couldn't resist the title. :redface:>> Jackson Pollock's work was brilliant. Art from that era looks inexplicable to people like Evo, but there is method in the...

I'm probably not going to have time this summer to learn a martial art, but I've been considering it for a while. The next time I have a chance, I think I am going to take one up. Does anyone have any suggestions for a particular martial art. I want one that will be able to increase my...

I think so, it's the value that anyone person puts on it, there own interpretation and reality is the only thing that really counts even tho people will naturally disagree. Unless each mass produced sculpture, painting...etc is hand made by the artist it doesn't even have a chance of fitting...
