Max Cooper and Tom Hodge - Teotihuacan Part 2 //Visuals by Dugan Hammock

Structure of nature - (Hyper)dimensionality We exist in a familiar 3 spatial dimensions, up/down, forwards/backwards and left/right. But our best understanding of nature tells us that there can be systems with different numbers of spatial dimensions. For a long time I wanted to experiment with visualising worlds in higher dimensional space, folded down to 3-dimensions for viewing (just as we can view a 3-dimensional world folded down to a 2-dimensional screen). When higher dimensional shapes are rotated and viewed from a lesser dimensional view-point, beautiful structural warping seems to occur, even though the objects are not actually changing shape. I wanted to use this natural process to give insight into the property of spatial dimensionality, and eventually I was lucky enough to find a mathematician, Dugan Hammock, with a shared interest in these forms of visual system, and the skills to build the required Matlab code to model them. Here we view the beauty of the simple act of rotating o
