Why Do I Study Physics? by Xiangjun Shi [animation]

Wonderful subject matter beautifully executed — Xiangjun Shi explains why the study of physics is fascinating:

Here is another very short, experimental and quirky animation of hers I like:

Chinese artist Xiangjun Shi has been experimenting with animation for a long time now. She majored in both physics and animation at two different colleges, simultaneously, while in a foreign country! Here’s what she had to say from her website:

When I left home for college in the US, I was fortunate to be selected for the very first class of a new Dual Degree program, presented by Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design. Without predecessors, and in trusting embrace of Brown’s open curriculum, I was pretty much able to design my own education.

While it may be too early to discuss the effect of that autonomy, in the past five years in this program, I have had chance to focus on a consistant pursuit — to bridge the arts and science.
