In this drawing Jason is showing how perfect circles do not exist...anywhere in the universe. Circles are made from triangles as are all shapes and are deeply interconnected with the number Pi. The more trianlges you squeeze within a certain perimeter the closer and closer you approach a circle but you never reach it...you just get closer and closer. This is WHY Pi goes to infininty. Pi is the circumference of a circle (how far around the perimieter) divided by its diameter (the distance from one side of the circle through the center and to the other side). When you add more triangles, the circumference gets slightly larger each time you add more triangles (but by an ever decreasing amount), but the diameter stays the same. A circle with 180 triangles when you divide it's circumference by it diameter you get 3.141433 (Pi accurate to three decimals). A circle with 360 right triangles, one right triangle every one degree, gives you 3.141552 (Pi accurate to four decimals). This picture is...

Jason D. Padgett is an artist and thinker whose journey challenges conventional perception. As the author of Struck by Genius, a book that has been optioned for a major motion picture, his unique artistic perspective has captivated audiences worldwide. What makes Jason’s work even more extraordinary is his experience with motion blindness (akinetopsia), a condition that causes him to perceive the world in discrete frames, like stop-motion animation or a flipbook. Rather than seeing continuous motion, he perceives reality as a series of still images. While many might see this as a limitation, Jason has embraced it as a gift, using it to explore intricate patterns and structures that often go unnoticed. His hand-drawn works reflect a...
