Stop-motion animations made from pencil drawings
[inverted].
360 frames, looped and synchronized.
A cube is seen from three orthogonal viewpoints rotating through
360º. As they are not synchronous, the rates at which the
viewpoints of individual corners rotate define cycles of
distortions in the resulting projection. These distortions pertain
to the system of viewing rather than to the data, which is
consistent in its description of a single, stationary cube.
Each corner of the cube is ascribed an arbitrary value, and the
dynamic distortion of the shape over time is then an emergent
property of the relationship between the positions of these
values.
