These are 3-D printed
sculptures designed to animate when spun under a strobe light. The placement of
the appendages is determined by the same method nature uses in pinecones and
sunflowers. The rotation speed is synchronized to the strobe so that one flash
occurs every time the sculpture turns 137.5º—the golden angle. If you count the
number of spirals on any of these sculptures you will find that they are always
Fibonacci numbers.
For this video, rather than using a strobe, the camera was set to a very short shutter speed (1/4000 sec) in order to freeze the spinning sculpture.
