“Still Life with Magic Square,” by Sylvie Donmoyer, Saumur, France20” x 26”, Oil paint on canvas, 2011

First Place Award, 2012 Mathematical Art Exhibition

It all arose from a sense of wonder when seeing the formal beauty of mysterious objects called polyhedra. Since then, I have joyfully played with geometric shapes and it led me to explore the possible representation of Geometry in classical painting. From Dürer’s magic square to strange cubes, painted by the precise brush of a would-be 17th century Dutch artist.—Sylvie Donmoyer, Saumur, France (http://www.illustration-scientifique.fr/index-A.html)

“Sierpinski Triangle,” by Simon Beck Pattern made in snow with snowshoes

This work is a variation on a Sierpinski Triangle, a simple iterative process. Start with the largest triangle, find the midpoints of each edge, “draw” another triangle linking the midpoints, resulting in 4 triangles, then leave the middle triangle alone and repeat the process on the 3 other triangles. —Simon Beck (www.facebook.com/snowart8848)

“Conical Panoramic view of the George Eastman House grounds,” by Andrew Davidhazy, Rochester Institute of Technology, NY

Photograph, circa 1990

My area of interest is the application of mathematical concepts in technical applications of photography. Be it quantification of phenom-ena or the design and use of photography to visualize physical and mathematical concepts. A camera that rotated a circular piece of film past a radial slot acting as a shutter exposed the film for more than two rotations of the camera and thus recorded two plus views of the House grounds each covering a sector of about 120 degrees or so designed so that the 360 degree view of the grounds would produce a sector that could be cut and formed into a conical lampshade. Sometimes this photo is confused with those that a fisheye

lens might make but the fisheye lens could only make a single image of the House per frame. Here there are two. —Andrew Davidhazy,

“Pythagorean Tree,” a pancake by Nathan Shields (www.10minutemath.com)

This fractal, like many others, is fun to doodle at faculty meetings. Here, each triple of touching squares encloses a right triangle in a traditional visualization of the Pythagorean Theorem. To see about making your own fractal pancakes, as well as other topics I find in-

“Butterflies 6-4,” by Doug Dunham, University of Minnesota Duluth, MN 11” x 11”, Color printer, 2009

This is a hyperbolic pattern of butterflies, six of which meet at left front wing tips and four of which meet at their right rear wings. The pattern is inspired by M.C. Escher’s Euclidean image Regular Division Drawing Number 70, and is colored similarly. Disregarding color, the symmetry group of this pattern is generated by 6-fold and 4-fold rotations about the respective meeting points of the wings, and is 642 in orbifold notation (or [4,6]+ in Coxeter notation). This pattern exhibits perfect color symmetry and its color group is S3, the symmetric group on three objects. — Doug Dunham, University of Minnesota Duluth, MN (www.d.umn.edu/~ddunham/)

Third Place Award, 2012 Mathematical Art Exhibition

My professional work in computer graphics and geometric design has also provided a bridge to the world of art. This is a gridded model of a Klein bottle (Euler characteristic 0, genus 2) with the minimal possible total surface bending energy. This energy is calculated as the surface integral over mean curvature squared. —Carlo Séquin, University of California, Berkeley, CA (www.cs.berkeley.edu/~sequin/)

“Pleated Multi-sliced Cone,” by Thomas Hull, Western New England University, Springfield, MA; Robert Lang, Robert J. Lang Origami; and Ray Schamp, Ray’s Origami

16” x 16” x 5”, elephant hide paper, 2011Second Place Award, 2012 Mathematical Art Exhibition

Imagine a long paper cone that is pleated with alternating mountain and valley creases so that its cross-section is star-shaped. Now slice the cone with a plane and imagine reflecting the top part of the cone through this plane. The result is exactly what one would get if we folded the pleated cone along creases made by the intersecting plane. Doing this repeatedly can result in interesting shapes, including the origami version presented here. This work is a collaboration. The concept and crease pattern for this work was devised and modeled in Mathematica by origami artist Robert Lang (www.langorigami.com/). The crease pattern was then printed onto elephant hide paper by artist Ray Schamp (fold.oclock.am/). The paper was then folded along the crease pattern by mathematician and origami artist Thomas Hull (mars.wne.edu/~thull). Part of the charm of paper folding is its capacity for simple, elegant beauty as well as stunning complexity, all within the same set of constraints. This mirrors the appeal of mathematics quite well. Geometric origami, which is where most of my artwork lives, strives to express in physical form the inherent beauty of mathematical concepts in geometry, algebra, and combinatorics. The constraints that origami provides (only folding, no cutting, and either one sheet of paper or further constraints if more than one sheet is allowed) challenges the artist in a way similar to being challenged by a mathematical problem. —Thomas Hull, Western New England University, Springfield, MA (mars.wne.edu/~thull)

“Walking the Water’s Edge,” by Diane Herrmann, University of Chicago, ILNeedlepoint on canvas, 14” x 14”, 2009

In this piece, the line imitates the edge of a wave on the shore. To make this wave look realistic, we used a mathematical curve that

models the way a wave breaks on the beach. To be mathematically precise, we work with the sum of two trigonometric curves to show

the action of water as it sloshes over itself in the push to get on the shore. The graph that defines the line of the Florentine Stitches is

a close approximation to the curve: f (x) = 5 sin x + 4 cos (2x + π/3). The technique of thread blending creates the shading of the wave.

Freeform eyelet stitches mimic the foamy edge of the wave and beads add sparkle. A single starfish is added in Bullion Knots.

“Escher’s ‘Relativity’,” ©Andrew Lipson Made of Lego®

Daniel Shiu and I worked on this as a joint project. There are no camera tricks, but the picture has to be taken from exactly the right place, and that was a challenge in itself. Unlike many of Escher’s other “impossible” pictures (like “Ascending and Descending”), there is actually no optical illusion involved here. Gravity seems to be working in three different directions simultaneously, but the picture shows a perfectly self-consistent physical scene. So modelling it should certainly be feasible. But while Escher’s picture has three dif-ferent “up”s, Lego® isn’t quite so flexible. See photos of the construction in progress. Lego® is a trademark of The Lego Group. On my website I post images of M.C. Escher’s original works (©) Cordon Art, Baarn, the Netherlands, used with permission, so that you may compare with the Lego® creations.

“Process Print 3 from Trefoilm” by Nathan Selikoff, Orlando, FL4” x 6”, Archival Pigment Print, 2011

I love to experiment in the fuzzy overlap between art, mathematics, and programming. Seeking to extract and visualize the beauty that I glimpse beneath the surface of equations and systems, I create custom interactive programs and use them to explore algorithms, and ultimately to generate artwork. When I prepare an image from my Aesthetic Explorations series of strange attractors for print, the first step is rendering a very high resolution, high quality 16-bit grayscale image from my custom software. While these images are destined to spend some time in Photoshop in a process of recoloring and enhancement, I find that they are very beautiful in and of themselves. The nature of algorithmic artwork (and fractal phenomena in nature in general) is that there is captivating detail at all scales. This is a crop from “Trefoil”. —Nathan Selikoff, Artist, Orlando, FL (nathanselikoff.com)
