real magick, the fabric of the universe
…believed to be the most geometrically complex and aesthetically beautiful structure in mathematics, the 4_21 polytope is the algebraic form at the centre
of a universal theory of everything. Originally described in the late 19th century, 4_21 models all interactions and transformations between known and postulated sub-atomic particles. It is the 21st century equivalent of the proto-scientific art of alchemy – where the transmutation of elements was the most elusive mystery of the universe. The theory is an attempt to reconcile one of the fundamental unsolved problems in physics: unify quantum physics and gravitation in hopes of ultimately explaining the fabric of the universe…
this rendering of the 4_21polytope was done in illustrator to an accuracy of 1/10,000th of a millimeter, a feat which has never before been achieved due to technical difficulties… go figure i didn’t even know it existed until now

nice collection of old porsche adverts, which also provide a history of graphic styles from the past four decades

earlier this year i posted about a project which examines the way we mimic our forefathers entitled ‘mimicry’ by photographer judith van ijken, the accompanying book (designed by ‘syb’) has now been released and can be purchased directly via judith…
