This Concrete that Shows Secret Patterns When Wet is pretty cool. Although I’m not too sure what use it would be. Would make Janitor’s jobs more fun/beautiful I suppose.

THE SOUNDS OF NEURONS TALKING
In 2008, biologist and author Professor Brian Ford localised the sound of neurons communicating with one another.Cultured brain cells in the lab, when sending an impulse or what’s known as spiking, make a crazy little buzz sound around 40Mhz. Professor Ford took this sound and stretched it out to 20 seconds to hear what is inside the spike. He believes since that nerve cells are the most developed, they do more than just turn on and off, which is what sends or receives signals and where many believe thought to originate from….he believes that the thought is in the nerve cell.

Black Mirror | Robert Seidel
Black Mirror is a projection sculpture by Robert Seidel currently on show at the Young Projects gallery in Los angeles. A combination of laser-cut paper in gallery space with projected imagery, overwhelm with richness and visual depth.
“Since my first works I’m interested in arranging fractured memories to abstract-organic „Tableaux Vivants“. In a process-based fusion of nature, painting and sculpture a pictorial flow comes to life that connects with the associations of the viewer, so every moment unfolds new rhizomatic connections with the semi- narrative strands.”

Chaos Theory is a very important area of mathematics which can explain a lot of what we see in the real world. A pendulum with one mass is relatively easy to explain mathematically, and it behaves nicely. However if you put another mass in there, it behaves chaotically. Technically, this means that if you change the starting positions only slightly, the state of the system a short time later can change drastically. The weather is chaotic- a small error in measuring it today could be the difference between rain and no rain in a weeks days time. Watch these two pendulum systems quickly diverge, though they both start off with nearly the same settings. [more] [code]
In 1975 Mandelbrot published The Fractal Geometry of Nature, which became a classic of chaos theory.
