Easily mistaken for the infinity sign, the Lissajous Figure is a horizontal figure-eight named after French physicist and mathematician Jules Antoine Lissajous (1822-1880). The shape is drawn by plotting a two-variable parametric equation as it calculates and recalculates itself over time. The resulting figure is the picture of two systems falling into and out of phase.
Please come to Dexter Sinister this FRIDAY FEBRUARY 9 2007 for a book launch for PHILIP, a novel by Mark Aerial Waller, Heman Chong, Cosmin Costinas, Rosemary Heather, Francis McKee, David Reinfurt, Steve Rushton & Leif Magne Tangen. And Larissa Harris will be reading (quietly, in the corner and on a never-ending loop) "The Seventh Voyage" from Star Diaries: Further Reminiscences Of Ijon Tichy by Stanislaw Lem. And three (quite short) videos are presented by Mai Abu ElDahab (also looped).
