Sirens have been a theme in my work for well over three years. In this case, a mirror will be incorporated in the piece where the observer can connect to a particular siren labeled in gold. The equations on the glass of the frame signify the attraction of the unique siren — thus incorporating the…

AUDIENCE Educated laypersons interested in art history, the application of mathematics to art and how the arts and sciences interface. Computer artists. Scientists and mathematicians with an…
origami: a blend of sculpture + mathematics
Artist and MIT professor Erik Demaine makes flat geometric diagrams spring into elegant, three-dimensional origami sculptures. By Marina Koren, SMITHSONIAN.COM, JANUARY 23, 2013 The shape of a Pringle, mathematically speaking, is called a hyperbolic paraboloid. Artists have been folding paper into this shape for years. The twist? Hyperbolic paraboloids shouldn’t exist in origami—it’s impossible to make such…
golden ratio in art composition and design
“Without mathematics there is no art,” said Luca Pacioli, a contemporary of Da Vinci. {article source: The Golden Number, May 4, 2014 by Gary Meisner} Just as the Golden Section is found in the design and beauty of nature, it can also be used to achieve beauty and balance in the design of art. This is only a tool though, and not a…
math-inspired works of art
Mathematicians enthralled with unending fractals and flux patterns have been known to call math beautiful — but, increasingly, they aren’t the only ones. For many artists, calculations and numerical analyses provide a rich source of ideas and methods for their creations. The annual Bridges conference showcases the connections between art and mathematics. The conference features, among…
