Smashing Magazine has gathered a small collection of beautiful motion graphics created through mathematics and procedural algorithms.
We often turn to programmers to solve mathematical-related problems, but the concept of mathematics in programming is what powers programmers to innovate. When you think of mathematics you imagine numbers, expressions, and equations. But what about art, music, or even beautiful visuals? Those numbers and equations that we often view as mundane and overly-formulaic can generate beautiful visuals and music.
A great collection including such well-known entries as Radiohead’s “House of Cards” video and others. I think my personal favorite is the Zeno Visualization of Swan Lake (shown below).
Which is your favorite?
