 What we did in the last couple of videos was go to Dirk's studio and take a look at some of the paintings that he was working on Or he had just recently finished and some of the structures, some of the objects that he was working on and in those In those two videos we saw one painting where he had incorporated the golden rectangle in the background in the painting itself and we looked at one of the structures that he put together using the golden rectangle right one of the objects that he put together using the golden rectangle and he sort of Went off on working with the golden rectangle and incorporate the concept of the golden rectangle in more paintings and more objects That we didn't get a chance to look at but if you do want to see how he did that You can go to his website and take a look some of the high resolution pictures He has on his site and he mentions where he's used the golden rectangle How he's ended up using the golden rectangle in those paintings in those objects okay, what we're going to do in this video is go back to Dirk's studio and Take a look at a couple other objects that he's been working on sort of moved on from the golden rectangle And he's working with three-dimensional objects Specifically putting together a bucky ball and a Rambo Casa do Decahedron with bamboo so what we're going to do right now is Dirk's going to show us the process that he goes through to make these things and basically it requires a lot of measurement a lot of exact measurement a lot of exact cutting and You know putting the pieces together and he basically starts off from Bamboo that he has where you get the bamboo from from the backyard from the backyard He gets he goes to the backyard grabs the bamboo cuts it up Organizes things according to their sizes according to you know, how thick they are cuts them up and then measures a certain angle he's he does the calculations to figure out what it what angle he needs on these things and Basically starts putting these things together. Okay, and that's what we're going to do right now We're going to go through and he's going to show us how he does these things So he takes the bamboo and duct tape around the bamboo and then he set up the piece of wood with the appropriate angle on it Let's tape it off like this so it doesn't splinter too much Okay, that's one angle, okay No, so the cut so this guy here is The what's the angle again? That's like 36. Oh 36 degrees written right there 36 So that's 36 degrees one side of the angle and now the other one that I just cut because I cut it like this And I just turn it around I fit it into this into the guide here. Okay, you're gonna so tape. Oh, no, okay Like if I get don't tape it'll splinter completely so I put the tape on like this I put it in here Okay, now I have another side now I have you know once Side that's like this. Okay. Okay, so One side of the pentagon and it fits like this So once you have five of these things then I then I put the zap strap inside. Yeah, yeah And I tighten it so that it becomes You know You know flexible, but it stays together Here's one of the pentagons and he's what he's putting in he connects them with that You can see this with the zap strap Inside all of these so let's make one. Okay. Now we have this I sanded off a little bit so that Okay, now I have you know five all together, so I just begin with one and I just put it in here Okay, let's see. Yeah, do you do it on the camera? Yeah, yeah, so we've got ten of these five of these guys, right? Okay, then I put the next one in here. It's a little bit complicated keep the end piece What doesn't fall out this in here And then the last one Sticks out, you know, I connect it Before before you pull okay, this is before I pull it And then I make it, you know, really tight Just pull it like this More Let's pull it and so it's like this End piece I cut off Clippers so this is another one It's a little bit thicker, but it has the same, you know dimension, right? So we just made this one this is the original one when we showed their different sizes because what he's done is gone through with the bamboos and Cut up the bamboo from the backyard and separated the bamboo pieces according to the thickness And that stuff is over so he's got bags of this stuff Right with a different number and numbered Oh, yeah, bag number seven and seven is and five Seven has to be bigger than five. Okay. Okay Yeah, yeah, it's a little bit smaller. I mean, and here's a seven Yeah, I mean slightly slightly but you have but you have to have you have to be that exact to be able to Make sure that this thing these objects that he's making are symmetrical and they fit perfectly and they balanced, right? So seven the thicker one goes here And five is a smaller one I need I need to make a 12 Pentagon's you need to make 12 of them. Hi 12 pentagons I Need your 30 squares And I need your 20 triangles, you know Okay, okay 12 pentagons 30 squares 30 squares and 20 20 triangles and all of these things so the pentagons have the angle measurement of 36 and The squares are 45. Oh, yeah, the square the squares are 45 and the triangles would be 60 so So I pull it so that When I cut off Just you know this one I Broke off. It's very very thin this upstrap. This is cable ties. So now I have a thing Pentagon and a triangle Okay, they would never go together like this on there because the the triangle always connects to the to the square But you know the size is right, so if I have this size It's perfect. Everything has the same, you know length, you know from like like edge to edge. Okay, everything is That's the same as the Pentagon too. Ah, that's cool. Okay, so see I made this one yesterday And you can see it's still green You know, this is an older piece. This is an older piece So these are newer pieces. So what are these are these gonna go yellow the green ones will go yellow I'm like eventually they'll Look like that. Ah, okay. So they'll go like that. Okay. So the green color. Let's show you the colors So so the green color over time is gonna turn into this color, right? bamboo So this was this was your experiment working with these things. Yeah, yeah, that was the first one I've ever done this one Make a bamboo soccer ball because of the triangles. It was a lot more complicated, but it's not as nice as that one I like that one most. It's a soccer ball. Yeah, it's a it's a c60 carbon molecule C60 carbon buckyball, and what's the angle on the hexagons? That's your 30 degrees. Okay, cool. So that's that's one of the things structures that Dirk's been working on Okay, and we've already taken a look at Paintings he's done chaotic grid based and we took a look at some of the other structures that he's done Okay, and this is what dirt does that's working on right? He does multitasking a lot of different projects going at the same time and using a lot of mathematics in his work just angles symmetry and Just starting out with something basic Trying it out, you know one shape one angle one cut and then introducing multiple other other cuts and Seeing where that goes and that with the experience of him figuring out how to do this stuff Like he said, he's gonna work towards building something Larger and the triangles are upside down. So the triangles are actually The other way around to so the squares are perfectly Everything is like, you know the reverse of itself the reverse of the mirror the mirror flipped of itself so it's a so it's a mirror about the diameter of this thing and a Flip a reflection. Oh, that's cool What's it called again, what's it calling it? Rumba it's a rum it's a rum because you don't take a head run trumpet. Okay, hold on. Let me put this thing here Okay, we're both not very good at pronouncing things so we're gonna write it down for you. What is this? Can you see this? There it is. That's what it's called. Okay Thanks, sir. That's awesome Rumble
