Clayton Shonkwiler:  Math Professor, Artist

Clayton Shonkwiler is a Math Professor at Colorado State University.  He has no art training, but his mom was an Art History major and his dad was an Architect, so he said that ‘there were always lots of art and architecture books and prints around’.  He started making gifs as a way to illustrate something in a research talk, became hooked on the possibilities and now, several years later, he has built a body of elegant and mesmerizing gif work.  He is part of a trend that I have been noticing of coder artists that I have written about more at length here

Book of life!

I asked my mom to rate some composers

disclaimer: she is a tiny Chinese lady and literally cannot tell a violin sound from a piano

Mozart: “So nice and simple. It makes my heart settled. 不慌张。”

Beethoven: “What is it you kids say? I am shook? Yes, I am very shaken.”

Bach: “There is a lot going on here.”

Chopin: “Wow, very nice! It sounds messy, but a lovely messy. I think it really is a Fantastic Impromptu!”

Liszt: “真的好厉害哦, I never knew the piano could be played in this way. I think I will have bad dreams tonight”

Bartók: “Originally, I thought what is this no-head-no-tail garbage. But now, I quite like it.”

Rachmaninoff: “Stop playing this, I don’t like it. Really, I don’t understand how you can listen to this while you study.”

Tchaikovsky: “Very nice very nice. Wow look, the violinist is so cute, he’s playing with his eyes closed!”

Schubert: “He picks all the right notes.”

Mahler: “Too loud, I can feel the trumpet ringing around in my ears. 吵死了, turn it off or I won’t be helping you with your math tonight.”

Debussy: “Mmm. I like this one. So relaxing, it just makes me want to go to a spa. That reminds me, I need to book a facial.”
