While I don’t have any specific sources of desktop backgrounds, I do have some great sources for mathematical artwork. Over the past few years I have participated in the Bridges Math Art Conference and the Joint Mathematics Meetings, both of which have exhibitions of mathematical art every year. There is a [Read More...]

The three day program was a great opportunity to share my artwork and to be inspired by other artists, mathematicians, and computer scientists. As I though about how to share my experience at this workshop with you in this post, I asked myself, how did this opportunity come about, anyway? A quick search in my email [Read More...]

This is a bit old (January of this year) but the icon for the Helios iPhone app is pictured here (I licensed  to the developers). Exciting!

Amy and I got back a few weeks ago from a two week adventure in Hungary and Austria, the first week of which was spent at a math / art conference called Bridges Pécs 2010 in Pécs, Hungary. The conference is always a blast, bringing together a few hundred brilliant people from diverse geographic and intellectual areas. Pictured here is a Sierpinski tetrahedron collaboratively created in a workshop led by Vi Hart, who started us out with basic balloon twisting and [Read More...]

A last minute contact facilitated by my page on Rhizome.org led to a quick exhibition of Society of Stickpeople – A New Beginning (dvd version). If you’re near Grand Rapids during the short exhibition window, check it out (and let me know how it looks – I won’t be able to be there in person). Official announcement follows. Upgrade/Downgrade Open Concept Gallery is excited to present Upgrade/Downgrade, a multimedia exhibition demonstrating the experimentation and opposing relationship of nature versus or [Read More...]
