Can you guess a shape from its shadows?

Ben Gobler

This video explores the question of whether you can determine the shape of a 3D object by observing a few of its shadows. The results are surprising and beautifully rich!

I created the slides in PowerPoint, and I wrote the music using a trial version of Ableton Live 11.
