THE ART OF INEXPLICABLE EDDIES
by Dr Daryl Holland

The University of Melbourne’s Dr Daryl Holland has written an insight into the science behind Scale free Network’s A Hierarchy of Eddies, exploring the ways it sparks our imagination.

“Now, a team of scientists, engineers and artists have come together to produce an art-science experiment, called A Hierarchy of Eddies, which aims to show audiences the complexity of these turbulent systems.

Eddies can be described mathematically using what is called the Navier-Stokes Equation, but the creators of this work say there’s something about their evolving shapes that transcends physics or maths and enters the realms of philosophy, psychology and performance.”
