An animation/multimedia app used for making art, well fancy that.
I’m still looking at the site looking for ‘the point’. I had thought experiemental flash had died out. Yes we know we can do all kinds of crazy maths with flash, hell I got a bunch of ‘experiments’ on my HDD from my old site… a flag waving in the wind, all kinds of circular/wave motion and even a fountain that shoots water droplets affected by gravity and wind.
We get it, you can plug the maths from text books into flash.
We got it 8 years ago when version 4 was released.
Almost a decade on and it seems the folks at the ‘cutting edge’ are just recycling old content…

Actually, that site isn’t new. I mentioned it because when I first saw it, some time ago, I found it a bit of an eye-opener.
It’s not always about proof of technology you know. Particle effect demos pinched from Flashkit don’t get exhibited as art.

the current version is only 3 years old according to archive.org. Flash Math creativity (another Friends of Ed book) outdates by 2 years and the second edition of it was released around the same time.
Read either and then look at the site again…
As for art, the dragon-style stuff from the first edition kicks that site’s butt

So there are books on the subject of maths based effects that predate this website. I couldn’t care less.
I’ll be sure to inform our print designers that they might as well pack up and go home. After all, print is such an old medium that they can’t possibly produce anything of any merit.
You know, it doesn’t hurt to show a little appreciation for other people’s efforts once in a while.

Congrats, he got his stuff displayed as art while more talent and creative people are ignored.
you want mind melting maths mixed with eye candy, just like at the plasma that fires up on lifaros’ site when you fire it up : http://www.actionscript.cl/

Let me give you a little tip. You could have started with a gracious, constructive comment along the lines of…
“That’s pretty nice. Here’s something else I think is impressive - http://www.actionscript.cl.”
The point of this post and its category is to share things that I think are interesting and inspiring. If all you want to share is sarcasm, you can do that on your blog.
