The Order Beneath No.02: Spectral — A short film about spectra | Math × Shader

Fourier analysis in six short chapters, from a snowflake drawn by a chain of steadily turning circles, through vibrating strings, sand on a plate, crystals and quasicrystals, to the spectra that light lays out. Every frame is computed by code; on the website, each one is drawn live in your browser as the film plays.

Each one takes a single field and shows the order and beauty inside it, in pictures computed live by code; the narration says only enough for you to follow what is happening on screen. You won’t need to learn anything to watch, but you’ll see things you hadn’t noticed before.
