One of Whitney’s hallmarks was his implementation of Differential Motion in his various projects. It’s a simple process that yields interesting results, and ultimately served to encapsulate his overall life philosophy. And I have to agree, to an extent, I… Read more
First, apologies for the corny title, but hey, it’s late.
I thought it would be worth making a quick note to go over how the trails are constructed, as they are the centerpiece of the overall effect. I’d love to… Read more
