intothecontinuum:

In a previous post we experienced what a Truchet tiling looks like. This time, the animations above show what it might be like to look down on a Truchet tiling, but while moving along it in a straight line.

In each of the animations the tiling is really only shifting in one direction (the direction corresponding to “up” when viewed on your screen) as made apparent in the following simple Truchet tiling:

For an increased dramatic effect, the rate of this upward movement in the animations is made to correspond with the frame rate of the GIF in such a way where precisely one row of the tiling leaves our view every frame. This makes the smoothly translating tiling just shown look like this instead:

This explains why the individual tiles seem to be changing orientations in place, and why there appears to be a static grid of horizontal and vertical lines outlining the tiles. Together with the geometry of the configurations in the tilings, this also explains why there seems to be motion is several different directions for any given tiling. Perhaps one might be able to realistically create a similar effect if they manage to run along such a tiling at a rate which corresponds to the “frame rate” of human vision.

Mathematica code:
T[r_, x_, y_] :=
 Translate[
  Rotate[
   {EdgeForm[Thickness[0]], Polygon[{{1, 0}, {0, 0}, {0, 1}}]},
   r, {.5, .5}],
  {x, y}]

Manipulate[
 Graphics[
  Table[
   T[Mod[a*x + b*y, m] Pi/2, x + h, y + v],
   {x, 1, X, 1}, {y, 1, Y + 60, 1}],
  PlotRange -> {{1, X}, {1, Y - .1}}, ImageSize -> 500],
 {{X, 23}, 1, 100, 1}, {{Y, 23}, 1, 100, 1},
 {{m, 11}, 1, 100, 1},
 {{a, 18}, 1, 100, 1},
 {{b, 14}, 1, 100, 1},
 {h, 0, 14},
 {v, 0, 14}]

I came across this on Facebook today. A man who photographed his wife’s battle through cancer and chemotherapy.

This helps me to remember how lucky I am that I’m still alive.
I can’t believe the only thing I cared about was my hair!

Check out his beautifully tragic set ‘The Battle We Didn’t Choose’ and cherish the life you have! xoxo

World’s Most Beautiful Abandoned Places

Italian product manager and web designer Francesco Mugnai recently added a collection of images to his blog touting some of the most beautiful images of abandoned spots and modern ruins that he’d ever seen. The images Mugnai has captured come from empty castles, shuttered power plants, and dilapidated churches around the world. From a sunken yacht in Antarctica to a forever-closed amusement park in Japan, these images all make up a sort of anti-phoenix; rather than rising as new from the ashes, these husks remain preserved in decomposition, forcing viewers to confront the strange beauty of ruination.
