MC Escher, Images of Mathematics...

Escher's work covered a variety of subjects throughout his life. His early love of portraits, Roman and Italian landscapes and of nature, eventually gave way to regular division of the plane.. Over 150 colorful and recognizable works testify to Escher's ingenuity and vision. He managed to capture the notion of hyperbolic space on a fixed 2-dimensional plane as well as translating the principles of regular division onto a number of 3-dimensional objects such as spheres, columns and cubes. A number of his prints combine both 2 and 3-dimensional images with startling effect.. His art continues to amaze and wonder millions of people all over the world. In his work we recognize his keen observation of the world around us and the expressions of his own fantasies. . M.C. Escher shows us that reality is wondrous, comprehensible and fascinating....

Leonardo Fibonacci: A Natural Growth of Mathematics

The marvels of nature. It's mathematically delicious! Personally, I bow my head to the (mathematically minded) power/powers that generating these miracles!
The way in which shoots are arranged on plant stems also seems to be in accordance with the Fibonacci series. Compared with the one beneath it, each shoot is offset so that it does not shade its neighbor. The angle between one shoot and the next, expressed as a fraction of the circumference of the stem, is generally found to be given by two numbers from the Fibonacci series: ½ for grasses and for elm and linden trees; 1/3 for sedges, beech, and hazel; 2/5 for oak and fruit trees; 3/8 for poplar and rose; 5/13 for willows, almond trees, and leeks.

Segmentus Clock Concept is Half Digital, Half Analog

First, man made the analog clock. Then he made the digital clock. Then, just because he could, he made the funky cross between the two that looks like a digital clock but has moving mechanical parts like an analog one.

Art Lebedev, the patron saint of cool concepts that will never be manufactured as real products, has applied his unique genius to the world of timekeeping. The result is Segmentus, a clock that uses swinging plastic segments to replicate LCD-style numbers.



OK, the numbers aren't always the easiest to read—this is particularly annoying for those of us who thought that digital clocks would always be a safe harbor in the confusing and often embarrassing world of analog timekeeping—but, hey, it's art. Er, Art. [Art Lebedev, Via: SlashGear], Via: Gizmodo, Via: Youtube
