First-Ever Organzied Chaotic Free-For-All Competition/Collaboration

I know that the vector table maybe is better than the chalk lines , from your words Gare that was my first association for the Infinity + Love + Freehand and Brush tool



Attaching the .xar file if someone would like to chalk something yet

I think you're all coming up with good ideas! I suggest that because we're not frantically trying to meet any deadlines, think this "Infinity" stuff through, take time to assure quality results=visual communications at its best, and do post often! An infinite number of times, in fact!

Here's something for everyone to consider: A Mobius strip is impossible in 3 dimensions, it has no beginning and no end, and yet it can change color at some point. How about a small character trying to travel this infinite road? Or something else?

I think the only way to really express Infinite is through a quantum mechanics approach. Also consider the Klein bottle, a physically impossible vessel in our 4D space—height, width, depth, and time...only time we have no control over but we do move through it.

Yeah, this is heady sh...stuff :), but so is infinity, and I don't want to bore you!

Why not approach a subject as surreal as some of your drawings? Make your talent fit the assignment!



You think this is tough? Imagine you're Barbara and live with me 24/7!!

I like this one. Very creative what the mirror effect.

Gare, a Möbius strip is possible in 3D, perhaps you meant 2D?
Our 4D is 3D+time: space-time. Mathematical 4D is different, and in that, a Klein bottle comfortably sits.


I'v always wanted a Koch Snowflake, but ever time i print one and try to cut it out christmas has passed.
The perimeter is infinite, the area is finite.

Acorn, you're infinitely more intelligent than I am when it comes to those things Quantum in Mechanics!

I'm very glad you chose a fractal for an expression of Infinity, because fractals can indefinitely recurse. Some have terms, but mostly they done (he says in math terms Gary doesn't quite understand).

Now, the Art side of this assignment? Is pale blue your best impression of the Infinite? How about the cropping or even multiple universes here? Do you want to add drama (why not?) to crop away some of the flake so it's not possible for mortals to view the whole of it (hint: you might).

I think you're good, acorn.

But I don't think you're done with this.

Mmmm?

Thanks for coming to play, man.

while i'm still trying to come up with something specifically for this challenge, i had a little bit of free time today and played with a mobius/penrose triangle from a bigger project that i played with a few months ago.
trying not to take the challenge too literally and obvious is tough (at least for me)

[Crow Haven]

Hi Gare,
So far I haven't come up with anything unique to illustrate the concept of infinity that hasn't already been done...ad finitum through symbols. There's a great deal of speculation involved, or faith, or whatever you'd like to consider, in the idea of infinity and/or eternity. Is it real or is it Memorex? Is it something measurable/testable? Is it just a thought? If you believe in eternity and the infinite then what does it look like? What does it feel like?

Or...is it as one philosopher stated, " You may think about it, but you will never realize it". I need a great deal more time to consider the possibilities....for the possibilities are endless, but not the probabilities (for me at least).

[Rik]

'Infinity' and 'Eternity' are both concepts.
One is predominantly used in Mathematics and Physics, and the other is predominantly used in Religion.

Mikey's impossible triangle (beautifully animated) is shown that it goes on for ever into the distance - infinity.
If TalkGraphics, as a forum stays for ever, and no-one removes Mikey's drawing - eternity.

Just a thought, csehz: how about a visual progression, a series of infinite signs that eventually morph into a heart?
