Mirando este video debe ser lo mas bizarro del mundo sentir 'John Whitney te odio! John Whitney te amo!'. Con la limitacion de recursos de todo estilo que habia en esa epoca llega a lograr algo tan nerdo como eso. Eso si que es admirable. Lo envidio totalmente, jeje!
@mariothepookster What? Whitney studied serial music with Leibowitz, and I think that this is analogy to serial music (point music), hence the name permutations. In case you dont know who Leibowitz is, he was pupil of Ravel, and teacher of Boulez.
@omgtkseth sorry i was referring to what the video reminded me of. in this case, "string theory" as in physics and not to whom Whitney was influenced by or studied with.
@mariothepookster Just saying in case you didnt know. Its kinda obvious to people that are familiar with serial music, that its based on permutations, and that puts things in focus, Whitney's focus. But many people have never heard of serial music, and since there are only vague references in the description...
Absolutely marvelous. I've watched this several times (relatively sober) and enjoyed it each time. Would love to eat a psilocybin mushroom and watch this.
actualy John Whiney invented an analog computer, he was very talented with many things not just music, as I heard in my interpretation, you see AC current goes like the sin curve right? so he did the same thing as an occiloscope by drafting the cathode ray with a magnetic field. but this time with complex functions thats what i think
according to wikipedia, he used analog computers until the 70's when started using digital computers- none of the sites I checked give any info on his actual production techniques (for his computer works)- he wrote a paper called computational periodics, which would suggest he was using mathematical formulae like sine waves and other periodics.
well I dont think he exactly did that but it looked like it. giving a point a position refuring to the origin interms of the angle and radius is polar form. For example from 0 you can turn 50 degrees and go 2 units and its a unique point.

This kind of studies can also help people with hearing disability to imagine the concept of music.

is it the original music or did you put it yourself ? What is it ?

@trojanlol It's on the original film. I saw this years ago on VHS, and it had the same music. Don't know where Whitney himself got it from, though.

download graphamatica and learn some simple things about it and then i am sure you can make these images with it without animations
