Am I the only one who enjoyed this video for the music, not the visuals? Because this is good.

thats pretty amazing that you can slow down the waves jut by looking at them but they are actually going way faster then you look at them

[MockEmpire]

feels like bineural beats are being initiated

[GreyEyedGirl92]

I know I will sound compleletly dumb, but HUH? Is it just an optical illusion? or is it something serious? I tried to read the comments, but lets just say that I am not exactly a scientist. But it was cool, after a while the lines seemed to move backwards.

[recklessness1987]

it's a waveform analisys of a sound.

The small waves represent the changes in frequency (or amplitude, i don't know).

Here we see three tone generators, each generating a similar tone at the same time, all three change frequency a tiny bit at a time, causing their graph to shift left or right.

The three tone generators have been started with a small offset to produce the effect of three "beams" swirling around each other.

The sound you hear, is (i guess) that of the three tone generators.

[JHLKJHLKHLK]

Nearly right ;)

[Sogwa]

WOW

[carolinesimone]

Brillant

[AppA]

[Intosia]

nice drone indeed. How on earth did you get that on a scope? (signal wise) Reallly impressive

[ChandlerN]

True drone...nice tone.

[mediawardotcom]

so if this is the trailer i wonder what the whole work will be like :P:P

[JHLKJHLKHLK]

There's a bunch of small sculptures, prints, texts, laboratory equipment etc that make up the complete exhibit

[mediawardotcom]

sounds interesting :)

[RedlineAngel]

Thanks for posting this, and the other Disinformation. I could watch this all day; there's almost too much to discover in there.

[Cadmusproject]

yeah right.

[Purplerupture]

wtf is going on

[JHLKJHLKHLK]

Read the blurb!

[Cheerbabe013]

if you stare at it for a long time it looks like the "hairs" move left to right!

[Nodrog666]

Very helpful, thank you.

[Dazron]

OMG there's an amazing part at 1:48

[iosko666]

your crazy....what part?explain

[revolter1]

i think it reverses. or nothing at all.

[schmicklemcfickle]

Is it obvious to everyone and no one is saying anything or am I reading into this in a different way, but the first reading I got was a commentary on the idea of beauty and society's idea of beauty, and how really our physical characteristics are the result of something as scientific as DNA. This also relates to survival of the fittest, and the idea of heirarchy, perfection, "classical" beauty and maybe even utopia. I think it relates to social/class structures, eastern/western.....to be cont..

[THANETWEBTV]

Great work JB

[AbFabGrrrl]

A long time coming for this comment, but I have been watching the U.K show "Line of Beauty" in Toronto where programmes are a bit late coming. Wanted to find more about Hogarth and his line of beauty

[teemshadow]

what the hell

[armaneasyrepair]

Very cool

[AnthonyBono]

This is inspiring.  Thank you.

[orgivaESP]

Does anyone know much about William Hogarth 1697-1764

[JHLKJHLKHLK]

Jenny Uglow's book on Hogarth is a pretty good place to start! :)
