@taipeiqueen: *Warning: High-contrast patterns with stripes! No animations, still images only* That's a moire~ p.s. if you catch the SHINee reference in the video gold star for you ;) Video Description: Taipei is a drag queen wearing dramatic 1950s-inspired makeup, short curly black hair, and a silver moire dress. She describes a brief summary of the mathematics behind the moire pattern, as well as it's significance in textile and fashion history. #fashionhistory

this is also something that happens in the printing industry when printing process images using cmyk. if the color screen angles for each of the colors isn't correct, when you print the separations it will create a moire pattern vs the desired rosette pattern.

My favorite interaction of fashion and math is that the punch card language of early computers came from programmable looms. Ada Lovelace's experience with female pursuits like weaving inspired her to use punch cards when creating the first mechanical computers with Charles Babbage.
