Published by MrHonner on

This is Building Sines, one of the pieces I will have on display at the 2013 Bridges Math and Art conference in Enschede, the Netherlands.

Inspired by the mathematicians, computer scientists, and artists of the Bridges organization, I have started writing computer programs to alter and transform my photography in mathematical ways.  Here, a custom Python script was used to smoothly compress the original image along a vertical sine wave, creating an interesting visual effect.

You can see the other pieces I will have on display here, and you can peruse the entire Bridges 2013 gallery here.  I will also be presenting a short paper at the conference about my work and its potential as a project-based learning activity for teachers and students.
