Amazing geometric designs are the work of a Brazilian artist, in the creation of which he takes minimal part. The spiral patterns are created by a pointed pendulum swinging over a white sand floor.
Over the past few years, the artist Felippe moraes studies patterns hidden from human eyes, and created by the forces of the universe. This time the author decided to check in which ornament the geometry of the movement of the pendulum will be reflected. You can see this with your own eyes in the "Baró" gallery located in São Paulo.
White sand was scattered in the center of the spacious hall, and a pendulum with a glass "needle" was suspended from the ceiling above it. Swinging, she traces perfectly symmetrical spirals in the sand. By adjusting the height of the pendulum, you can create different drawingsstriking in their correctness and subtlety of lines.

Futuristic sand castles for the modern Little Mermaid. Sand sculptures by Calvin Seibert
Everyone has tried beach construction, erect sand castles and other sand sculptures of varying degrees of difficulty on the seashore. Therefore, everyone knows how thankless this work is, because in a few hours only memories and a few photos on the memory card of your phone or camera will remain from the figure. However, the artist and sculptor Calvin Seibert is not intimidated by the future of his work, and for six years in a row he has been decorating the sandy beach
Pendulum paintings
Scientist Leon Foucault invented a pendulum that can be used to demonstrate the daily rotation of the Earth around its axis. And the artist Tom Shannon (Tom Shannon) invented a pendulum with which you can draw pictures. It would seem that the principle of operation is the same, but such different functions
Weston Sand Sculpture Festival: Hit the sand on off-road and pop culture
Along with the LEGO constructor, ordinary river or sea sand is a versatile material for the artist, with which you can create literally anything your heart desires. This is what the authors who create sand sculptures use. One of the festivals for them was recently held in England. And he was dedicated to pop culture, namely, Hollywood cinema
One grain of sand, two grain of sand: Gary Greenberg's mesmerizing macro photography
Probably every child knows that there are no two identical snowflakes in the world (and "Culturology" talked about snow under a microscope in Kenneth Libbrecht's photo project). But other micro-objects are no less amazing. A series of shots by American Gary Greenberg shows ordinary grains of sand in all their glory. If you look very closely, armed with special equipment, it turns out that we are trampling the most beautiful stones and do not even notice it
Original 3D drawings made by New Zealand artists in the sand
Few people are surprised by the drawings in the sand. Most of them are flat geometric shapes. However, New Zealand artists are transforming the beach into an alternate reality by creating 3D compositions on the sand
