Cartesian coordinates in 3 dimensions C017 / 6989
Cartesian coordinates in three dimensions, computer artwork. At centre is the origin (red). This lies at point 0, 0, 0, where the X Y and Z axes meet. A point (purple) is in position 7 along the X axis, 5 on the Y axis, and 8 on the Z axis. These coordinates are written as (7, 5, 8). Shadows of the purple point are cast on each of the three perpendicular planes. The three coordinates (x, y, z) can specify a point anywhere in three dimensional space

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Cartesian Coordinates in 3 Dimensions C017 / 6989" beautifully illustrates the fundamental concept of Cartesian coordinates in three-dimensional space. Against a striking black background, a complex system of lines and planes come together to form an intricate geometric composition. At the heart of this artwork lies the origin, represented by a vibrant red dot. This point marks the exact spot where the X, Y, and Z axes intersect at coordinates (0,0,0). It serves as the reference point from which all other points are measured. One such point is depicted in regal purple hues. Positioned at coordinates (7,5,8), it exists seven units along the X axis, five units on the Y axis, and eight units along the Z axis. The shadows cast by this point elegantly grace each of the three perpendicular planes surrounding it. Through this visual representation of mathematical principles pioneered by René Descartes himself, we gain insight into how three numerical values can precisely locate any point within Euclidean space. This artwork not only celebrates analytical geometry but also invites us to explore its profound implications across various scientific disciplines. Created by Russell Kightley for Science Photo Library's collection of thought-provoking visuals on mathematics and science-related subjects; this print offers both aesthetic pleasure and intellectual stimulation for those captivated by mathematical beauty.
