In 2004, I created a graphics program that simulated a population of stickmen and stickwomen through various iconic stages of life: birth, play, love, work, rest, travel, and death. From its humble beginning as a school project (thanks Marty!) the Society of Stickpeople has gone through many incarnations, detailed below.

The Confluence of Chaos and Computation in Generative Visual Art

The Confluence of Chaos and Computation in Generative Visual Art

In early November, I will be giving a talk during a special session on Mathematics and the Arts at the AMS Sectional Meeting in Richmond, Virginia. My talk is titled, The Confluence of Chaos and Computation in Generative Visual Art, and this is the abstract: With the rise of accessible computation in the 1960s and 70s, practitioners of mathematics, statistics and physics were suddenly able to explore chaotic dynamical systems in new, powerful, and decidedly visual ways. At the same [Read More...]

Faces of Chaos used on the cover of the latest Journal of Mathematics and the Arts

Look what came in the mail last week! That’s my artwork on the cover (Faces of Chaos series) and inside is a book review I wrote on Symmetry in Chaos (2nd Edition) by Michael Field and Martin Golubitsky. This is the first time I have been published in a journal. I would like to thank Gary Greenfield, the very helpful and supportive editor, for the opportunity.

A friend of mine asked me the other day if I knew of any good sources of math art wallpaper as Google was not turning up anything very good. 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...]
