From experimentsinmotion:
The digital stroboscopic image of a dancer above and the still from the video “Seaweed” by Tell No One both capture individual stages of movement in a single frame. Andy Warhol’s ‘Dance Diagram Series’ (1962) and the ‘Treatise On Quadrille Dancing’ (1819) notate the same complexity in a format that begins to approach something an architect might understand. Capturing the dance of car circulation, Kahn’s Traffic Study for Philadelphia could just as easily orchestrate a massive urban scaled ballet.
Tell No One’s video Seaweed above layers and partially freezes simple movements to create a moving sculpture that is both a structure and a dance.
Jordan Clark’s lo-fi experimental video on human movement presents a jaw-dropping and strangely relaxed vision of limits of the human body.
This is just too cool.

On This Day: The Steam Locomotive Gets Going
On this day in 1804, the world’s first steam-powered train hauled 10 tons of iron and 70 men for nine miles at a speed of five miles an hour in Merthyr Tydvil, South Wales, opening a century whose history would be defined and guided by the expansion of the railway. The engine was designed by Richard Trevithick (1771-1833). Above, a drawing of an earlier Trevithick design, thought to be quite similar to the locomotive that ran in 1804.

Monday: a discussion about dark matter, expanding universes, physics, and more with physicist Saul Perlmutter. You might have heard the name. He just shared the Nobel Prize in Physics.
You say dark matter, I say Kidd Pivot.
