Geometric animations form a hypnotic tapestry of minimalist design

Geometry is perhaps the most obviously aesthetic branch of mathematics, and marvellously suited to visual play – a property that the German animator Henning M Lederer explores to great effect in this short video. Inspired by the blog Geometry Daily, in which the German graphic designer Tilman strives to create minimalist compositions that are ‘unique but also as simple as possible’, Lederer takes on the challenge of this limitation to create mesmerising vignettes of morphing shapes.
