How To Fold a T-Shirt in 2 Seconds

Here's a step-by-step video that explains how to magically fold a t-shirt perfectly in 2 seconds. I posted a similar Japanese video back in 2006.

Nagi Noda

Nagi Noda is a Japanese pop artist and director who has been called “one of the most influential woman in Japan.” Nagi died on September 7, 2008, at age 35, after surgical complications from injuries sustained in a traffic accident the previous year. The last thing she worked on was this music video and album art for Japanese singer MEG.

In this video, Nagi uses kuroko, a traditional Japanese theater technique involving several stagehands dressed completely in black, to make things appear to be moving on their own.

One of my favorite Nagi Noda projects is a 2005 music video for OGIYAHAGI.

The Shepard Scale Auditory Illusion

Here’s a cool auditory illusion of a tone that continually ascends or descends in pitch, yet which ultimately seems to get no higher or lower.

A Shepard tone is a sound consisting of a superposition of sine waves separated by octaves. When played with the base pitch of the tone moving upwards or downwards, it is referred to as the Shepard scale.

The way to really get the experience is to play it again, again, again, and again. And it’ll just seem like the sound keeps getting higher in pitch and tone. [via]
