Limited Short Term Memory Caused by Interference From Similar Items Seen Earlier
Our short-term memory is severely limited in everyday experience, but according to a new study from City, University of London and the Hungarian Academy of Science, it has no intrinsic limits when it comes to remembering information.

“Sketching Fractals” by Music: Fractals are a treat for your eyes, but what about your ears?
Fractals are geometric constructs that exhibit similar or identical characteristics at every level of magnitude. They provide new tools for geometers to describe objects of extreme intricacy, such as clouds, ferns, snowflakes, mountain ranges, stock-market fluctuations, the human circulatory and nervous system, etc.. The geometry of Fractals brings us a new appreciation for the natural world and the beauty of mathematics. Some of the most popular examples are: The Sierpinski triangle and the Von Koch snowflake.
Fractals are a treat for your eyes, but what about your ears?. Dmitry Kormann, a composer/keyboardist from São Paulo, Brazil, explains how he brings fractal-like patterns to the very structure of his music, to obtain beautiful results. See more at: [http://plus.maths.org/issue55/features/Kormann]

Im Rahmen des TV Pop-Ups haben Gert-Jan Akerboom und Hannah Reber eine multimediale Installation gebaut. Der Bauplan wird von Gert-Jan Akerboom als Kunstwerk im Rahmen der CGG Berlin aus- und zur Verfügung gestellt. Viel Spaß beim Bauen! :*
