"So you navigate your life with the help of others who held mirrors up for you. People praised your good qualities and criticised your bad habits, and these perspectives -often surprising to you - helped you to guide your life.
So poorly did you know yourself that you were always surprised at how you looked at the photographs or how you sounded on the voice mail.
In this way, much of your existence took place in the eyes, ears and fingertips of others." - David Eagleman, Sum
Today I found a good video about merging tubes with different angles, ellipses, phase shift of sine waves, featuring sculptures by Frank Smullin.
This video is exceptionally comprehensive.
[Shared by hardm.ix on instagram: Text says: "A little more on the analytic constructivist sculpture of Frank Smullin, a professor of mine at Duke University who combined art and engineering in a way that reminded me a little of Kenneth Snelson and Tensegrity or Buckminster Fuller and geodesic domes."]
