Jason Rogenes turns packing packing material into glowing obelisks at Manuf®actured: The conspicuous transformation of everyday objects via BBG.

Music Is Math by Glenn Marshall Marc de Vinck Tue, 07 Oct 2008 03:00:00 -0800

This is the HD and finished version of my video 'Music Is Math'. I just let the program run till the end of the music, I felt reluctant to interfere too much by trying to sculpt an ending, and just let the code run its own natural course. Music by Board of Canada.
