27. Lusine - "Two Dots"
2 years ago
Britta Johnson (video director for Andrew Bird, among others) brings Lusines gorgeous new single Two Dots to life, illustrating the songs relationships-as-trigonometry analogy in an intricately animated video. In the clip, a pair of marbles—one blue, one yellow—engage in the timeless dance of seduction on a horizontal plain, mapping the ups and downs of a courtship through pencil-drawn geometric principles. Like Two Dots, Johnsons video lives in the middle ground between technology and humanity, emotional immediacy and obsessive detail.

    Great mathematical demonstration, up until the point when sin and cos are represented by blue and yellow catseye marbles. The mistake this creates in the viewer's mind is that sin is somehow associated with the blue marble at the origin and cos is somehow associated with the yellow marble that's orbiting the blue.

    In fact, they should have dissociated the yellow marble into its luminous components of red and green and traced those two as sin and cos as the yellow marble orbits the blue.

    So close!

    If my emotional responses to mathematics were always so positive, I think I would understand the world very differently.

    You've communicated some really beautiful ideas. The concept, composition, and editing all stand out as inspired. Thanks for the experience.

    answer: The shortest distance between A & B is no distance but &.
