Fourier birthday

by Bret Victor, Joanne Cheung

This entry is a stub, and will be expanded on a future archiving pass.

An improvised all-day activity in which we we recorded a sine curve from the physical world, and built up to performing Fourier transforms by hand.

At some point, we will make a full video publication about this activity.

This is Bret’s favorite thing that has ever happened in Realtalk.
