Event 1

Infinity Structures: 

Paradoxical Space

By Robert Gero

This event is an example of how to effectively integrate math concept into art works. I went there relatively early so I have the chance to actually listen to the author talking about his afflatus. His aim is using mathematics to generate a visual multidimensional space. The special audio music in the room is 10 minutes long and is different from traditional sound. It created a feeling that you are actually in an outer space.

People were listening to the explanation of the work

One point view of the work

another point of view
During the discussion, the author mentioned several interesting concepts, for example, bounded infinity. The room in this case is regarded as a bounded infinity structure. The laser projection is moving on the wall and it is used to create an illusion. It can be imagined like the wall is moving out slowly. The video is different from different viewpoints around the room to serve as a support to the visual multidimensional space. I noticed that all the cross section of the structural component is parallelogram. Parallelogram is one of the most beautiful shape in geometry and it feels like the structural is flowing in some sort of ways.
