The Australian Maths Art Project by Anthony Jones
About the project:
…from a leading Australian Mathematician and Economist, investigating connections between art, its history and the worlds of mathematics and economics. Fibonacci, Grid systems, The Golden Section, perspective, proportion, Euclid… these and many other points of reference became subject matter for the works.
Nobody can take the complexities of economics and boil it down to its simplest essence quite like NPR’s Planet Money. They have mastered making difficult financial concepts understandable and even entertaining, so it comes as no surprise that they could do the same thing in a whole new medium.

Most of you are probably already familiar with the fantastic animations of the RSA, but for those of you who are not please check them out. They tackle all kinds of seriously fascinating topics, all while amusing you with their clever illustrations. For those who are already fans, you may not know they have an app.
In an unprecedented private-public collaboration, 11 of America’s top foundations have joined with the National Endowment for the Arts and seven federal agencies to establish ArtPlace (www.artplaceamerica.org), a nationwide initiative to drive revitalization in cities and towns with a new investment model that puts the arts at the center of economic development.
