Every Artist Has a Favorite Subject. For Some, That’s Math.

The annual Bridges conference, which explores the connections between art and mathematics, showcased the creativity of artists who use mathematics as their primary medium. The event highlighted how mathematicians and artists are increasingly collaborating to create innovative works that challenge traditional perceptions of both fields. Many of the featured artists use mathematical concepts, such as fractals, topology, and symmetry, to produce visually stunning pieces. These range from intricate sculptures to captivating digital animations. The conference also featured discussions on the role of mathematics in various art forms, including music, architecture, and computer programming. The event emphasized the growing recognition of the symbiotic relationship between art and mathematics, with both disciplines informing and inspiring each other. By bridging the gap between these seemingly disparate fields, the conference aims to foster a deeper appreciation for the beauty and complexity that lies at the intersection of art and mathematics.
