Math & Art Symposium

808 Commonwealth Avenue,Boston MA 02215

24 February, 2023

Description

Presented by the BU Arts Initiative, the BU Department of Mathematics & Statistics, and BU Art Galleries, we are proud to present Mathemalchemy, a multimedia art installation that celebrates the creativity and beauty of mathematics. Join us for an all-day symposium including talks, panel discussions, and activities highlighting the intersections of math and art . Conceived in 2019, by mathematician Ingrid Daubechies and fiber artist Dominique Ehrmann, the Mathemalchemy project became an exciting collaborative enterprise, driven by the energy and enthusiasm of twenty-four mathematical artists and artistic mathematicians, including BU’s Li-Mei Lim. After more than a year of meeting remotely (because of the covid pandemic) and fabricating components in their separate locations, they met in the summer of 2021, and built a large multimedia art installation that celebrates the creativity and beauty of mathematics.
