Student Mixes Mathematics and Art to Make Beautiful Mesmerizing GIFs

Digital artist and physics Ph.D. student Dave Whyte is surprising our computer screens with his hypnotizing GIFs that are the ideal union of mathematics and art. And I can’t stop watching them.

Whyte shares his excellent, procrastination-fueling works on an almost daily basis on his Tumblr account, Bees & Bombs.

Whyte studied the physics of foam and told Colossal that his first geometric GIFs riffed on computational modules that he was exploring as a student. To create his eye-catching animated GIFs, Whyte applies a programming language called Processing.
