Momentum: Artful Quantum Mechanics on Blackboards
We see a lot of math based artwork these days, from fractal like 3d structures to Pi in the sky; but what about the process of learning math as the source for art? Photographer Alejandro Guijarro has been traveling to the great quantum mechanics institutions of the world and capturing the blackboards just as he found them.

What resulted was something highly more unique and insightful than the average portrait, giving us a window into the kids hopes, dreams and passions. The clever interaction of the students with their drawings has a Ben Heine sort of feel to it, while the punchy colors and wide angle perspective add a further element connecting them with their imagination. Will these students look back from 20 years with pride at their photos? I think so. [Read more...]
