Ammann_Scaling~3.jpg

I am a mathematician and artist, fascinated by patterns, both theoretical and visual and their communication. My research is based on substitution tilings, tilings with a scaling symmetry like the Penrose Tiling. I write about ideas on maths, art and communication on my blog, Maxwell's Demon, at www.maxwelldemon.com. --- Edmund Harriss (University of Leicester).

2009 Mathematical Art Exhibition


Konjevod3.jpg

The Mathematical Art Exhibition held at the 2009 Joint Mathematics Meetings in Washington, DC, included 49 works in various media by 36 artists. Robert Fathauer was the curator of the exhibition, and the exhibition website was prepared by Anne Burns. The exhibition was juried by Fathauer and Burns, along with Nat Friedman and Reza Sarhangi. The inaugural Mathematical Art Exhibition Prizes were awarded. Four judges, selected by the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of America, made the following awards: First Prize to Goran Konjevod, for his origami work, "Wave (32), 2006;" Second Prize to Carlo Séquin, for his sculpture, "Figure-8 Knot, 2007;" and Third Prize to Robert Fathauer, for "Twice Iterated Knot No. 1, 2008." The Prize "for aesthetically pleasing works that combine mathematics and art" was established in 2008 through an endowment provided to the American Mathematical Society by an anonymous donor who wishes to acknowledge those whose works demonstrate the beauty and elegance of mathematics expressed in a visual art form. The thumbnail images in the album are presented in alphabetical order by artist last name.

Crocheted Lorenz Manifolds

Dr. Hinke Osinga and Professor Bernd Krauskopf (Engineering Mathematics, University of Bristol) have turned the famous Lorenz equations into a beautiful real-life object, by crocheting computer-generated instructions of the Lorenz manifold.
