Title:
Artistic Geometry: The Math Behind the Art

Speaker:
Carlo Sequin

Abstract:
The geometry of some abstract sculptures is a starting point to gain some insights into twisted toroids, Moebius bands, and Klein bottles. Carlo Séquin, a computer science professor at UC Berkeley, has created computer programs to capture the essential structure in the artwork of some famous sculptors of abstract, geometrical art. New and more complex shapes emerge from these programs, yet they seem to belong to the same family as the original sculpture.
