4th Dimension, Visualizations

A fascinating pop science video introduction to visualizing 4th dimensional polyhedrons.

To me there is something of an aesthetic and to a lesser extent geometric echo between these and some of the compositional elements I'm interested in in my work, where I am trying to evoke a sense of a person passing through both observed time and the memory of that time.

The still object of a painting often does not represent stillness any more than it represents flatness. It is a two dimensional object that tends to create illusions of both space and time, but perceptually and emotionally, rather than mathematically- however, I notice some interesting similarities between the actual path of my 2-d lines, particularly while being made, and the path of the 2-d video representations of a 4th dimensional polyhedron passing through the illusion of 3-d space, which of course is actually represented by 2-d space.

The math? Sorry, not in my job description.
