Practice makes perfect, so what are you practicing?
Six years ago, I created my first programmed magnetic repulsion effect. In the years that followed, I continued to fine tune and explore the phenomenon of electrostatic fields and gravitational forces.
I used the necessary equations for these invisible forces to create audio visualizations, natural simulations, and artistic interpretations.
Everything fell into place as things tend to do when you are dealing with specific formula in controlled situations.
Recently, however, my fascination with these invisible forces has started to work its way into my day to day.
I can't close my eyes to sleep without seeing charged particles spreading out in the blackness.
I can't walk down a crowded sidewalk without thinking about how repulsive forces lead to collision avoidance.
I can't look at flowering tree without considering the complex mathematics and infinite iterations it would take to create such intense beauty and variety.
Im my presentation, I will discuss these forces at greater length and show some implementations and unexpected uses.
