The Golden Ratio Is BS (Kinda) | Answers With Joe

[@designobservatory]

Hi Joe. I am an artist and illustrator. I do this for over 40 years now. Me and my colleagues always joked about this - because we know how many classical artists just create, out of their stomache so to say, and then critics or art-sellers come up with weird explanation about why which color was used and why that perspective and yes, always looking for the Golden Ratio to explain things even the artist did not know. It's ridiculous. But obviously overexplaining things helps sell them.

[@ixchelssong]

Lol I've always wondered about that, when I hear or see a complicated explanation about a piece of art. I'm always thinking, " Ok, but was that the artist's plan, or are you just making up random things?"

[@elsagrace3893]

I love to hear this. There is so much bullshit in the art world. People love bullshit.

[@jeanjaz]

I think that's something about artists - they do things intuitively that we analytical types wonder, "How in the world did they come up with that, and how does it just work?!"

[@AFRoSHEENT3ARCMICHAEL69]

It's in the musical scale too. The Perfect 5th. We even say Phi in Five like Phive. The significance of this is the fact the Perfect 5th is the dominant note of the whole scale. It's the second most stable next to the root. This is also why we call it a Power Chord. When you hear it you're hearing a mathematical constant. The root and 5th is the foundation for all the most harmonious chords minus diminished chords.

[@harpodjangorose9696]

Oddly enough, the Fibonacci sequence applies when I look for my keys: the catchall in the entry is the first place to look. If I follow the spiral out, the next most likely place is by the lamp next to my chair. Continuing the spiral takes me to the desk in the dining room, then the kitchen counter, and finally the bathroom. If I continue to follow the sequence I end up on my neighbor’s porch. He shares his beer with me a lot, so I have once or twice dropped my keys there. Curiouser and curiouser....

Have you ever noticed that when you are looking for your keys, you always find that other thing you couldn't find previously?

The aluminum/aluminium thing is one of the mose stupidly pedantic things in the modern english language. The man who came up with the first modern process to create a usable metal from alum ore called the resulting material aluminum. Traditionally that's the right of the person making the advancement. There had been other ideas on this in the past, alumia, alumium, alimum etc. But... the only reason british scientists insisted on going for aluminium is because the other metals that were all the rage at the time also shared the 'ium' spelling, titanium, magnesium, gallium etc. It's only a matter of time before these madmen start changing other metals to match! Ironium! Tinium! Copperium! Goldium! Its ridiculous I tell you!

Loved the intro, speaking as a Brit. The sort of pedantry you've encountered is just a 21st century tribal dance. There's as much variation within British English as there is between American and British. Given that our countries are so far apart and we went our separate ways nearly 250 years ago, its amazing we can converse at all, and the fact that we can do so easily with barely a hiccup over cultural references, shows how close we are as countries. Also I'd like to thank you, we've been locked down for over a month now and your accent took me on a lovely journey across the length and breath of our Island. Next time a Brit picks you up on a minor grammatical point, ask them the correct term for a bread roll, and watch them turn on each other.

[@grayaj23]

In my family, it would be asking people to explain the difference between a cobbler and a deep-dish pie.

In German Aluminium is abbreviated to Alu quite often e.g. in product names, which happens to be a reduction of nine letters to three which in turn is the closest you can get when you set the remaining part in relation to the spared part. It's even more accurate when you use the AE name Aluminum. Amazing, isn't it? ;-)

The title is a bit misleading. The conclusion is that the golden ratio is in nature but not as abundant as many may have want to see it. It is still though quite a pervasive constant. On a tangent, I actually read the book referenced here over a decade ago, and it is an inspiring read. After completing it, I went on my own exploration on the properties of the number and discovered a novel property of the golden ratio that appeared to be true for which I made a conjecture out of it. The conjecture was later proven true in collaboration with my professor and published. It is called, “Converging on the Eye of God”. It looks at a derived Fibonacci sequence that has a surprising special relationship with the Eye of God. Check it out and Enjoy! www.jstor.org/stable/20876549?seq=1

There was a ships cat that survived the sinking of the Bismarck, was then adopted by the British and survived a the sinking of an aircraft carrier that had been involved in sinking her original ship and then survived a third sinking when the rescue ship a British destroyer was torpedoed by Germans, the cat retired to British Admiralty offices. Being a stray first found on the streets of some German city in the late 30's, what where the odds of that cat ending up sleeping on the desk of the British admiral in charge of defeating the nation in which it was born?

Related to nature being lazy and simply conserving energy, I learned that part of why our brains are trying to see patterns is because new information can be better stored in muscle memory or what not. The energy to retrieve this compartmentalized experience is profoundly less energy than the brain uses when learning new input.

I love your stuff Joe but I've got beef here. I'm finishing my last semester of education before I start student teaching. I'll be teaching art. Although I 100% agree with you that the ratios are a bit wild and loose, they are used everywhere in art. In fact, there has been a bit of an educational resurgence in the past 10 years with golden ratios. No, not all pictures look like spirals. But, what does happen is artists will use ratios to properly give "weight" to an image. For example I draw figures all the time. Often times with nide models present. I cant simply ask a model to fit a ratio. But I can find a good drawing angle that has a nice ratio of weight. And yes, oddly enough the golden ratio is all over our curriculum. So, I think it's more involved in art that you mentioned. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@lolgamez9171]

K but it could be a conscious choice by the artist not a divine ratio that permeates art inevitably

[@copaul6135]

Also an artist, agree 100%. If you give people 10 squares (unmarked) and some fit the Golden ratio 1.618, they will always think the ones with the Golden ratio are the most aesthetically pleasing. Good blind test ..

[@annoloki]

@@lolgamez9171 Well you can choose the elements which follow the ratio that gives the result you want. Like, take the ratio between the eyes and the mouth... well, if you use this ratio for the eyes and the nose, it's not gonna look good. I usually find that pieces created by trying to force in the use of a particular numerology to look more autistic than artistic, but ego drives the confusion between seeing something of beauty, and seeing something you recognise, and the art world is more ego than art, and the need for making it formulaic seems to express its own disdain for itself.

I do some procedural stuff with plants right now, and whenever I need a ratio between two lengths that could be something between 1 and 2 I tend to try the golden ratio first. What shall I say, it saved me a lot of time, cause it fits very often. Gonna add some random.random(), so it doesn't need to be perfect anyway, but what really surprised me is how small the random factors have to be for nice looking procedural plants.

In my school, a Waldorf School, the Golden Ratio was holy! I thought, it is bs too. Until I had to design a backcover with a picture with a horizon and some text. I had to add some text and therefore I had to move the horizon a little bit down. But I didn't want, because it wasn't so harmonic, as it was before. Subconsciously, I had put the horizon in the Golden Ratio. Another time I needed a little more space in a corner, so I had to move the shelf a little bit aside. Same again, the shelf was in the Golden Ratio, but this time I didn't move it!

The fibonacci sequence doesn't define a spiral, it's a series of 90⁰ radii based on a square of an increasing or decreasing size. However if you create a right triangle based on the golden ratio where the length and height is developed on the hypotenuse of the previous triangle. Both are almost identical, one is not a spiral the other is defined as a nurbs curve. Nurbs- non-uniform rationale B-spline.

[@Bestape]

(o: Thanks for the vid! The Golden Ratio is one of Infinite options. It's a very practical methodology. See Vera's Metallic Mean Family. I use them to bridge code and data as one. Moreover: => For d^2 = x^2 + y^2, the (d-y)/x vanishing point "Infinite-tiles-finite" scale symmetry of x-by-2y tiles x-by-(d+y) can nest scale symmetries within each other unless it's the Golden Ratio spiral. For instance, Silver's, e.g. A4 paper's, (sqrt(2) - 1) Infinite-within-finite scale can use the [ Infinite (4/4)-by-(6/4) tiles that are (5/4-3/4)/(4/4) = 1/2 scaled within a finite (4/4)-by-(5/4+3/4) boundary ] as its x-by-2y base instead of 1-by-2. Gold can't nest (unless y=0) because d+y > x. Compare the Hilbert space limit (orthogonality is Infinity). => This vanishing point (d-y)/x scale symmetry works for all parallelograms, not just rectangles, but non-rectangles have a mirroring effect component that rectangles don't have. :o)
