Wait patiently for things to be loaded.

Do not switch tabs while watching, it trolls.
Do not multi-click buttons, it trolls.
Do not trust the Clean or Pause button, they troll occasionally. :')

The Exhibition.

This was an artwork featured in The City Art Exhibition, from 3 to 30 September 2018, at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts.

Motivation.

This was a collaborative work with Hippocates Cheng, a Hong Kong composer and an overtone singer. In April 2018, we discussed the potential of exploring mathematical beauty in music. He shared his composed music score “Concerto for Orchestra: What Could I Leave for the World” with me, and I decided to visualize this piece of music with its underlying mathematical beauty through animation.

The Artwork.

The final animation, however, went beyond mathematical beauty and became much of artwork out of imaginary, fantasy, and my obsession over Polyhedra in the mathematical geometry context. It could be seen as a continuous work of my exhibition Shining Beauty of Mathematics back in the year 2016 in CUHK. This time, instead of creating scriptures of polyhedra, I decided to bring the polyhedra to live and dance according to their internal coherence with the music rhythm. Since this animation is about the dramatics between polyhedra, it is named "Polyhedramatics - The Dance".

The Implementation.

Yay! An exploratory trip to THREE.js!
