(un)determined color machine presented @ Festival della Scienza Genova 2011

A grid of colors follows the evolution of a dynamic system (Lorenz Attractor): each initial condition (x,y,z) in the Lorenz Space matches the color tone (RGB space) of each square of the grid. Due to the ” sensitive dependence on the initial condition”, quickly the system evolves into (un)determined chaos.

This applet has been developed under the supervision of Laura Tedeschini Lalli and the help of Gian Marco Todesco in 1999 as an assignement for a super inspiring class at the school of architecture in Rome.

Sometimes the deep abstraction of mathematical knowledge can be unfolded by choosing another gaze… the other way around is true as well?

L’Italia ha compiuto 150 anni nel 2011. Gli italiani, emigrando in massa, hanno diffuso la loro musica alle orecchie di tutto il mondo. Adesso molti vengono in Italia da culture lontane, e i nostri colori si stanno di nuovo fondendo in una nuova unità. Questo video rappresenta l’attrattore di Lorenz nello spazio dei colori della bandiera italiana. E’ un video presentato al Festival della Scienza di Genova 2011.

CREDITI: Lorentz nello spazio dei colori: concept di Daniele Mancini, responsabile scientifico Laura Tedeschini Lalli, CG Gian Marco Todesco
