VISUALIZATIONS

Schwarzschild I

Here you can fly a spaceship around a Schwarzschild black hole (and, if you like, try to catch an orbiting satellite without falling into the horizon), from the point of view of an external observer.

​

Schwarzschild II

The same thing, but now from the point of view of the infalling spaceship, giving you the chance to cross the horizon. 

​

2d Ising model

Here you can watch the 2d Ising model struggle towards equilibrium, and you can adjust the temperature by yelling at it through your microphone.

​

Self-gravitating

Draw a self-gravitating structure, start it spinning, and see if you can keep it from collapsing or flying off to infinity.

Black hole: life and death

This is a collaboration with art collective Plataforma UMA. Make a stylized version of a black hole and watch it evaporate, set to a soundtrack by Jonathan Uliel Saldanha
